- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Instructions
1. If starting with fresh cauliflower, chop it into florets and pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice-like grains. Alternatively, use pre-packaged cauliflower rice.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and sauté the cauliflower rice for 3-5 minutes until slightly softened. Allow it to cool completely before using in the salad.
3. Finely chop the parsley and mint leaves, discarding any thick stems.
4. Dice the cherry tomatoes into small pieces, and cut the cucumber into small cubes. Slice the green onions thinly.
5. Mince the garlic clove finely or use a garlic press.
6. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled cauliflower rice, parsley, mint, tomatoes, cucumber, and green onion.
7. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
8. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
9. Let the tabbouli sit for 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
10. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
