A Colourful Mediterranean Cauliflower Salad

Today, I share this colourful Mediterranean Cauliflower Salad, it is full of wonderful vegetables and makes a tasty low carb, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free dish.



Ingredients
Serves Four
For The Salad
1 small/medium head cauliflower - cut off the florets
1 cup red onion - chopped
1 cup cucumber - chopped
2 cups cherry tomatoes - cut in half
¼ cup black olives
¼ cup fresh parsley - chopped
For The Dressing
2 ½ tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
Salt and black pepper
1 garlic clove - minced

Instructions
1. Pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor for about 25-30 seconds until it's a rice-like consistency.
2. Place the cauliflower in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave for 3-4 minutes. The time will depend on the power of the microwave.
3. Once cauliflower is cool enough to handle, transfer to a salad bowl.
4. Add all the rest of the salad ingredients in the salad bowl.
5. In a mason jar, pour the olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Add salt, pepper, garlic and whisk everything together. Continue to whisk while streaming in the olive oil. Taste to check the seasoning.
6. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss well.
7. Top with parsley and enjoy.

Jan your recipes are always so good! Your low carb almost keto recipes are inspiration for me to keep going! Wish the Dr's here in the US would get off the low-fat craze though. Natural fats in organic pasture raised animals and their products (eggs, milk etc) are actually good for us. The only real vegetable oil is Olive! I've only realized over the past 10 years that most of the fats in our processed food are horrible seed oil fats! Thanks again for helping to educate us on proper nutrition that is perfect for me and my husband.
