Loaded with fresh herbs, this salad packs a punch of flavor with the cleanest of ingredients. Lighter than traditional tabbouleh made with bulgar, I pack it as a lunch with low-protein chips or crackers. But it’s also great as a side at a potluck or when you need something healthy to fill your plate

0.25 Clemon juice

¼ colive oil

1 tsppepper

1 tspgarlic powder

1 ½ tspsea salt

½ tspcumin

½ tspground coriander

Instructions

Step 1

In an ungreased skillet, cook cauliflower rice over medium heat until it begins to soften. 3-5 minutes. Move to a bowl and chill in the refrigerator.

Step 2

Use a food processor to chop the parsley and mint, making sure to focus on their leaves (and as little of the stems as possible). Once chopped, move to a large bowl. This is the base for your salad.

Step 3

After you halve your cherry tomatoes, lightly season them with salt (approx ½ tsp) and transfer to a fine mesh colander, set in a bowl. (This will help remove excess water). Leave them for about 20 minutes.

Step 4

Remove the green tips and root of the scallion and finely slice; they will look like small green rings. Add them to your chopped herbs. Next, peel and dice your cucumber and add it to the bowl.

Step 5

To prepare the dressing, whisk lemon juice, olive oil, pepper, cumin, coriander and remaining salt. Add the chilled cauliflower and cherry tomatoes to the bowl and toss all ingredients in dressing. Recommend chilling for at least 2 hours before serving, to allow flavors to set.
