Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 1 bunch Fresh parsley
- 0.5 bunch Fresh mint
- 4 stalks Green onions (scallions)
- 0.25 cup Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 1 clove Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by rinsing the cauliflower and breaking it into florets. Place the florets in a food processor and pulse until it achieves a rice-like consistency. Be careful not to over-process.
In a large skillet, heat the cauliflower rice over medium heat for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. You only want to lightly cook it to remove excess moisture. Once done, set aside to cool.
Dice the cherry tomatoes into small pieces. Peel and chop the cucumber into small cubes.
Finely chop the parsley, discarding any thick stems. Do the same with the fresh mint.
Thinly slice the green onions (scallions).
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled cauliflower rice, tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, mint, and green onions.
Pour the dressing over the mixture and gently toss to combine.
Taste the tabouleh and adjust the seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
Serve immediately or chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. Enjoy as a refreshing side dish or a light main course.
