Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower florets
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 bunch Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 0.25 cup Fresh lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Extra-virgin olive oil
- 1 small Garlic clove
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Begin by preparing the cauliflower rice. Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower. Break it into florets and wash thoroughly.
Using a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets in batches until they resemble fine grains similar to bulgur. Set aside.
Dice the cherry tomatoes into small pieces. Peel the cucumber, cut it in half lengthwise, remove any seeds, and chop it into small uniform pieces.
Finely chop the fresh parsley and mint leaves after rinsing them under cold water. Also, slice the green onions thinly, discarding the tough dark green ends.
Combine the cauliflower rice, diced tomatoes, cucumber, parsley, mint, and green onions in a large mixing bowl. Toss well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
For the dressing, finely mince the garlic. Whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl.
Pour the dressing over the salad mixture in the mixing bowl and toss again until all the ingredients are well coated with the dressing.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Let the tabouli sit for 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving.
