Ingredients

• 1 medium head Cauliflower
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Parsley
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
• 0.5 medium Cucumber

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves and stem from the cauliflower. Cut it into florets, and transfer the florets to a food processor.

Step 2

Pulse the cauliflower in the food processor until it resembles the texture of couscous or rice. Be careful not to over-process.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 4

Mince the garlic cloves, and add them to the skillet. Sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, but not browned.

Step 5

Add the processed cauliflower to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the garlic and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Step 6

While the cauliflower cooks, chop the parsley, halve the cherry tomatoes, and dice the cucumber into small cubes.

Step 7

Once the cauliflower is tender, remove it from heat and transfer it to a large mixing bowl.

Step 8

Add the lemon juice, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the cauliflower. Mix well to combine all flavors.

Step 9

Gently fold in the cherry tomatoes and cucumber. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

Serve immediately as a warm dish or let it cool and enjoy it as a refreshing salad.
