Step 1
Start by pulsing the cauliflower florets in a food processor until they’re broken down into small, rice-sized pieces—this usually takes about 10 seconds. Pour the cauliflower “rice” into a large bowl, then squeeze in the lemon juice and drizzle with olive oil. Add the garlic, tomatoes, scallions, mint, and parsley, and season everything with salt and pepper. Give it all a good mix to combine the flavors. You can enjoy it right away, but letting it chill in the fridge for a few hours really helps the flavors come together.
Why you’ll love it
This dish is a fresh and healthy alternative to traditional tabbouleh. It’s packed with vibrant flavors and textures, making it light yet satisfying. Plus, using cauliflower adds a nutritious twist that's low in carbs and full of vitamins.
How to serve
Serve this salad chilled or at room temperature alongside grilled meats or roasted vegetables. It also works great as a light lunch on its own or as a refreshing side dish during warm weather.
Storage & leftovers
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To keep it fresh, add dressing and herbs just before serving if possible. Avoid freezing, as the texture may become mushy.
