Cauliflower “Couscous”
Serves 1–2
It’s not how it sounds! But finely ground cauliflower is comparable to couscous, and gives crunch and texture to this easy salad. Don’t skimp on any of these ingredients, they all bring their own unique flavor to otherwise straight-up veggies.
3 cups chopped cauliflower, stems removed
1 medium tomato, diced small
½ cup cucumber, diced small
½ cup black olives, coarsely chopped
¼ cup red onion, finely chopped
¼ cup fresh basil, minced
¼ cup mixture of fresh herbs, minced (I like parsley, mint and oregano)
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
2 tbsp olive oil
½ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp fresh lemon zest
Make sure the cauliflower stems are completely removed. Add cauliflower to your food processor and pulse into a fine grain. If there are some chunks left, remove the part that is already ground to make it easier to get them.
Add all of the ingredients to a large bowl and mix well. Enjoy!
