Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 small Cucumber
- 10 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 small Red onion
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese
- 0.25 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into florets and pulse them in a food processor until it resembles rice grains.
In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat.
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet and cook it for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until it is slightly tender.
Once done, remove the cauliflower rice from heat and let it cool completely.
Dice the cucumber, halve the cherry tomatoes, and thinly slice the red onion.
Chop the parsley and set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and cooled cauliflower rice, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, red onion, parsley, feta cheese, and Kalamata olives.
In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining olive oil, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.
Pour the dressing over the salad and gently toss everything together to combine.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
