Ingredients

  • 10 oz / 280g cauliflower florets 1 medium cauliflower head
  • 1 ½ cup / 160g large cucumber chopped
  • 1 cup / 150g cherry tomatoes quartered or equivalent weight in medium vine tomatoes, diced
  • cup / 20g parsley finely chopped
  • ¼ cup / 10g fresh mint finely chopped
  • 2 tbsp / 20g red onion finely diced

Dressing

  • cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 - 2 tablespoon lemon juice to taste
  • 1 garlic clove minced
  • ½ - 1 teaspoon flaked sea salt, to taste
  • teaspoon black pepper or to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the cauliflower rice by placing the florets in a food processor and blitzing until it resembles a rice consistency.
  • Make the dressing by mixing the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  • 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.
  • Meanwhile, slice the cucumber in half and remove the seeds using a teaspoon. Dice.
  • 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.
  • Add cooled cauliflower, parsley, mint and dressing to the bowl. Toss to combine, season to taste and serve.
