Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Cauliflower
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 0.5 medium Red onion
- 1 medium Red bell pepper
- 0.5 cup Kalamata olives
- 0.25 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.5 cup Feta cheese
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 1 clove Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Cut the cauliflower into small florets and steam them for 3-5 minutes, or until just tender. Do not overcook—they should retain a slight crunch. Allow the cauliflower to cool completely.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and finely chop the red onion, red bell pepper, and fresh parsley.
In a small bowl, prepare the dressing by whisking together the olive oil, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled cauliflower florets, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, red bell pepper, Kalamata olives, and fresh parsley.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly.
Crumble the feta cheese on top and give the salad one final gentle toss.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled as a refreshing side dish or a light main course.
