Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Cauliflower rice
- 2 cups Parsley
- 0.5 cups Mint leaves
- 1.5 cups Cherry tomatoes
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 3 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 4 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
If using fresh cauliflower, rice it by grating it on a box grater or pulsing florets in a food processor until they resemble small grains. Alternatively, use store-bought pre-riced cauliflower.
In a skillet over medium heat, dry-sauté the cauliflower rice for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is tender but not mushy. Allow it to cool completely.
Finely chop the parsley and mint leaves. Be sure to remove any thick stems from the herbs before chopping.
Dice the cherry tomatoes into small pieces. Peel and dice the cucumber into small cubes. Thinly slice the green onions, using both the white and green parts.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled cauliflower rice, parsley, mint, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and green onions.
In a small bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the tabouleh mixture and toss gently to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. For best results, let the tabouleh sit in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a side dish or light salad. Enjoy!
