Begin by preparing the cauliflower. Remove the outer leaves and cut the cauliflower into florets. Rinse them thoroughly under cold water.
In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble the texture of rice. Be careful not to over-process, as it can become mushy.
Transfer the processed cauliflower to a microwave-safe bowl. Cover it with a microwave-safe lid or plastic wrap and microwave on high for about 4-5 minutes or until slightly tender. Allow it to cool completely.
While the cauliflower cools, finely chop the fresh parsley and mint leaves and add them to a large mixing bowl.
Dice the cherry tomatoes into small pieces and add them to the bowl.
Peel and dice the cucumber, then finely chop the red onion, adding both to the mixing bowl.
Mince the garlic clove and add it to the bowl with the other ingredients.
In a small bowl, whisk together the fresh lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Add the cooled cauliflower to the mixing bowl with the other salad ingredients.
Pour the lemon dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well combined.
Allow the salad to sit for at least 15 minutes before serving, so the flavors meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature as a refreshing side dish or a light, healthy lunch.
