1. Lightly steam the cauliflower rice to soften it slightly: Place it in a microwave-safe bowl and cook for 2-3 minutes, or sauté it in a dry pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes. Let it cool completely.
2. Finely chop the parsley and mint leaves. Aim for a very fine chop to ensure the herbs mix well into the salad.
3. Dice the cherry tomatoes into small pieces. Peel the cucumber, remove the seeds if desired, and dice it into small cubes.
4. Thinly slice the green onions, including the white and light green parts.
5. Mince the garlic cloves finely or use a garlic press.
6. In a large bowl, combine the cooled cauliflower rice, parsley, mint, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and green onions.
7. In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Adjust the seasoning to taste if needed.
8. Pour the dressing over the salad, and toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
9. Let the taboule sit for 10-15 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
10. Serve chilled or at room temperature. This dish pairs perfectly with grilled protein or can be enjoyed on its own as a refreshing salad.
