Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large head Cauliflower
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 small Red onion
- 30 grams Fresh parsley
- 15 grams Fresh mint
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Ground cumin
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
Instructions
Trim the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and cut it into small florets. Place the florets into a food processor and pulse until they resemble the texture of couscous, being careful not to over-process.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the cauliflower rice and sauté for about 5 minutes, or until it's tender. Remove from heat and transfer to a large mixing bowl to cool.
While the cauliflower is cooling, dice the red bell pepper, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion into small, uniform pieces.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and mint leaves.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, remaining olive oil, salt, ground black pepper, ground cumin, and paprika to create the dressing.
Once the cauliflower rice is cool, combine it with the diced vegetables and chopped herbs in the mixing bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine all ingredients.
Adjust seasoning to taste and serve the salad chilled or at room temperature.
