Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cauliflower rice (fresh or frozen)
- 2 cups Parsley (fresh, finely chopped)
- 0.5 cups Mint leaves (fresh, finely chopped)
- 1 cup Tomatoes (diced)
- 1 cup Cucumber (diced)
- 0.5 cups Green onions (finely chopped)
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil (extra virgin)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced, optional)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
If using fresh cauliflower, trim the leaves and cut the head into small florets. Pulse the florets in a food processor until they reach a rice-like consistency. Alternatively, use pre-riced cauliflower for convenience.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook the cauliflower rice for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, to remove excess moisture. Set aside to cool.
While the cauliflower rice cools, finely chop the parsley, mint, green onions, tomatoes, and cucumber. Combine the chopped vegetables and herbs in a large mixing bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic (if using), salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Once the cauliflower rice has cooled to room temperature, add it to the mixing bowl with the chopped vegetables and herbs.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice, as desired.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Serve chilled as a side dish or a light, refreshing main course.
