A healthy and simple option for those trying to avoid gluten or wanting to include a low calorie salad option as either a side salad or main dish. Cauliflower is very low in calories and it is a good source of fibre and vitamins.
Ingredients
- Cauliflower couscous – I made mine at home in a food processor, but you can get this ready-made.
- Diced cucumber
- Diced Cherry tomatoes
- Diced yellow pepper
- Grated carrot
- A handful of pomegranate seeds
- Finely chopped parsley
Dressing
- A few tablespoons of olive oil (optional)
- Lemon Juice from 1 lemon
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
- Mustard powder to taste
Method:
- To make homemade cauliflower couscous – cut into florets and then add to the food processor and pulse into couscous. Depending on the size of your blender you may want to do this in small amounts to avoid big chunks in the salad.
- Add all ingredients to a bowl and add dressing and mix well.
Note:
- You can add different ingredients and feta cheese (my version is vegan).
- You can change the dressing to any other that you prefer. The dressing makes the salad tasty so choose one that you like.
- Make the salad colourful. And you can change the ingredients to suit your taste.
- Make the salad a mix of protein and fibre.
