Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 2 cups Flat-leaf parsley
- 1 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Break the cauliflower into florets and wash them thoroughly. Pat dry with a paper towel.
Grate the cauliflower florets using a box grater or pulse them in a food processor until they resemble rice grains. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
Finely chop the flat-leaf parsley and fresh mint leaves, being careful to avoid large stems. Add these to the mixing bowl with the cauliflower.
Dice the tomatoes and cucumber into small cubes. Thinly slice the green onions, including the green tops, and add these vegetables to the bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is well emulsified.
Pour the dressing over the cauliflower and vegetable mixture. Toss everything together thoroughly to ensure the dressing is evenly distributed.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a side dish or a light vegetarian main course.
