Ingredients
- 1 medium head Cauliflower
- 1 large Red bell pepper
- 1 large Cucumber
- 1 cup Cherry tomatoes
- 1 small Red onion
- 0.5 cup Fresh parsley
- 0.25 cup Fresh dill
- 3 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Honey
Directions
Step 1
Remove the leaves from the cauliflower and cut it into small florets. Wash and drain well.
Step 2
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then blanch the cauliflower florets for 2-3 minutes until tender-crisp. Immediately transfer the cauliflower to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process, then drain well.
Step 3
While the cauliflower is cooling, dice the red bell pepper and cucumber into small bite-sized pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes and finely chop the red onion.
Step 4
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cauliflower florets, red bell pepper, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, and red onion.
Step 5
Chop the parsley and dill finely. Add them to the vegetable mixture in the mixing bowl.
Step 6
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, black pepper, and honey to make the dressing.
Step 7
Pour the dressing over the cauliflower salad and toss gently until everything is well combined.
Step 8
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Note that this salad is low sodium, so additional salt is not added.
Step 9
Chill the salad in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 10
Serve the salad cold as a refreshing and healthy side dish.
