Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound cauliflower stems removed, cored, and cut into florets (It's better to have a head of cauliflower under a pound than over for this recipe)
  • Sea salt to boil the cauliflower

Marinade

  • ⅓ cup lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried mint
  • 1 teaspoon sumac
  • ¼ teaspoon granulated garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon sea salt
  • ½ teaspoon cracked black pepper
  • ½ cup olive oil
  • 3 green onion, thinly sliced

Vegetables

  • ¾ cup diced red bell pepper
  • 1 cup diced purple cabbage
  • 1 large English cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup chopped fresh parsley (about 1 large bunch, stems excluded)

Instructions

Cook the Cauliflower

  1. Start by removing the leaves and stems from the cauliflower head. Use a sharp knife to cut the cauliflower into small, bite-sized florets.
  2. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
  3. Add the cauliflower florets and cook for 5-8 minutes or until tender when pierced with a fork yet still has some resists.
  4. Drain the cauliflower and place aside.

Make the Marinade

  1. Add the lemon juice oregano, mint, sumac, granulated garlic, salt, and pepper to a mixing bowl. Stir using a whisk to combine ingredients.
  2. Slowly add olive oil while whisking until a smooth dressing forms. Add the green onion and stir to combine.

Marinate the Cauliflower

  1. Add the cooked cauliflower to a bowl or ziplock bag along with the marinade. Toss the florets until coated in the seasoning.
  2. Place the cauliflower in the fridge for 60 minutes or up to 24 hours to marinate.

Put it All Together

  1. Remove the marinated cauliflower from the fridge. Add the bell pepper, cabbage, cucumber, and fresh chopped parsley. Toss to combine ingredients.
  2. Taste to adjust the seasonings, adding a pinch more salt, if needed.
  3. Serve Chilled.
