Ingredients
- 1 pound cauliflower florets
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 tablespoons lemon juice fresh
- 1 garlic minced, clove
- 1 teaspoon salt plus more to taste, fine sea salt
- 1 cucumber , chopped
- 1 large tomato , chopped (see notes)
- 3 green onions , chopped
- 1 cup parsley finely chopped, fresh
- ¼ cup mint chopped, fresh
Instructions
- Add the cauliflower to a food processor fitted with an "S" blade. Secure the lid and process briefly, just until the cauliflower looks crumbly and resembles rice. Set it aside.
- In a large bowl, combine the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and salt. Then pour in the riced cauliflower, cucumber, tomato, green onion, parsley, and fresh mint. Stir well so everything is well coated in the dressing.
- Taste the mixture and season with additional salt or lemon juice, as needed. (I usually add another ½ teaspoon of salt, but this will vary depending on the size of your veggies.)
- Serve this salad right away, or let it marinate in an airtight container in the fridge. It will keep well for up to 5 days in the fridge and pairs perfectly with hummus, falafel, and more.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Nutrition information is for roughly 1 1/2 cups of salad, assuming you get 6 cups total from this recipe. This information is automatically calculated and is just an estimate, not a guarantee.
- Tomato Note: When slicing tomatoes aren't in season, use 1 cup of cherry tomatoes, instead.
- Packed Lunch Note: Cauliflower can become quite smelly when you store it in the fridge, so this recipe may not be the best option to pack for lunch if you eat around co-workers.
