Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium cucumber
- 0.5 small red onion
- 0.25 cup parsley
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 large garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup feta cheese
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower. Remove the leaves and break the cauliflower into small florets. Rinse thoroughly under cold water and pat dry.
Slice the cherry tomatoes in half. Peel and chop the cucumber into quarter moons. Finely chop the red onion. Chop the parsley leaves roughly.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets, cherry tomatoes, cucumber pieces, red onion, and parsley.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic clove, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the cauliflower mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated. Toss everything gently to combine the flavors.
Lastly, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of the salad and toss gently once more.
Transfer the salad to a serving dish and serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours for flavors to meld before serving.
