Ingredients

  • 10 oz / 280g cauliflower 1 medium cauliflower head, florets
  • 1 ½ cup / 160g cucumber chopped, large
  • 1 cup / 150g cherry tomato quartered or equivalent weight in medium vine tomatoes, diced
  • ⅓ cup / 20g parsley finely chopped
  • ¼ cup / 10g mint finely chopped, fresh
  • 2 tbsp / 20g red onion finely diced
Dressing
  • ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 - 2 tablespoon lemon juice to taste
  • 1 garlic minced, clove
  • ½ - 1 teaspoon sea salt flaked, to taste
  • ⅓ teaspoon black pepper or to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Prepare the cauliflower rice by placing the florets in a food processor and blitzing until it resembles a rice consistency.
  2. Make the dressing by mixing the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  3. Add 1 tablespoon of dressing to a non-stick frying pan. Sauté the cauliflower rice for about 5 - 6 minutes on a medium heat until tender. Allow to fully cool.
  4. Meanwhile, slice the cucumber in half and remove the seeds using a teaspoon. Dice.
  5. Add the tomato and cucumber to a mixing bowl. I chose not to take all the tomato seeds as this can make the cauliflower tabbouleh too wet.
  6. Add cooled cauliflower, parsley, mint and dressing to the bowl. Toss to combine, season to taste and serve.

Notes
