Remove the leaves and stem from the cauliflower and chop it into florets.
Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until it reaches a rice-like consistency. Be careful not to over-process.
Transfer the cauliflower rice to a skillet and heat over medium heat for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to remove excess moisture. Let it cool completely.
While the cauliflower cools, dice the cherry tomatoes and cucumber into small pieces.
Finely chop the parsley, mint, and green onions.
Mince the garlic clove.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled cauliflower rice, diced tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, mint, and green onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the cauliflower mixture and toss until everything is well combined.
Let the tabbouli sit for at least 15 minutes in the refrigerator to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing side dish or light meal.
