Ingredients
- 1 medium head of Cauliflower
- 1 cup fresh Parsley, chopped
- ½ cup packed fresh Mint leaves, chopped
- 3 Green Onions, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Cherry or Grape Tomatoes, quartered or halved (depending on size)

Directions
Cut the cauliflower to remove the stem and then chop into pieces small enough to fit into your food processor. Place the cauliflower in food processor and pulse until the cauliflower pieces turn into “cauliflower rice”. You may have to do this in batches, depending on how large your processor is.
Add parsley, mint, green onion and garlic into food processor to chop more finely, if desired.
Place cauliflower rice, parsley, mint, green onion and garlic into a large bowl. Add the remaining ingredients and toss to mix. Taste and add more salt or pepper if necessary.
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store covered in the fridge for up to one week.
