Ingredients
- 1 whole Cauliflower (medium head)
- 200 grams Cherry tomatoes
- 1 whole Cucumber (medium)
- 1 whole Red onion (small)
- 20 grams Fresh parsley
- 2 tablespoons Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Remove the leaves and core from the cauliflower. Break it into small florets.
Step 2
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cauliflower florets and blanch them for 3-4 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp. Drain and rinse immediately under cold water to stop cooking. Set aside to cool.
Step 3
While the cauliflower cools, halve the cherry tomatoes, dice the cucumber, and finely chop the red onion.
Step 4
Roughly chop the fresh parsley and set aside for garnish.
Step 5
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Step 6
In a large salad bowl, combine the cooled cauliflower florets, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and half of the parsley. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat the vegetables evenly.
Step 7
Taste the salad and adjust seasoning if needed.
Step 8
Garnish with the remaining parsley before serving.
Step 9
Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
