Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower head and cut it into small florets.
Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until it resembles rice grains. Be careful not to over-process.
In a skillet over medium heat, add the cauliflower rice and cook it for about 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until it's slightly tender. Let it cool.
While the cauliflower rice is cooling, finely dice the cucumber and halve the cherry tomatoes.
Chop the parsley and mint leaves finely using a sharp knife.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled cauliflower rice, diced cucumber, halved cherry tomatoes, chopped parsley, and mint leaves.
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic cloves, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the cauliflower mixture and toss everything together until well combined.
Let the tabbouleh sit for at least 10 minutes in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing side dish.
