Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
- 1 large English cucumber
- 2 medium Tomatoes
- 1 cup Fresh parsley leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the cauliflower rice. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender but not mushy. Remove from heat and allow it to cool completely.
Dice the cucumber and tomatoes into small, uniform pieces. Remove the seeds, if desired, to reduce excess moisture.
Chop the parsley and mint leaves finely. Trim and thinly slice the green onions.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled cauliflower rice, diced cucumber, tomatoes, parsley, mint, and green onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to prepare the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the taboule mixture and toss well to combine.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with additional salt, pepper, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
