- Yield: 5 Servings 1x
- Diet: Diabetic
Ingredients
- 1/2 large cauliflower head
- 1 medium tomato, diced small
- 1/2 medium cucumber, diced small
- 1/4 small red onion, diced small
- 1/2 green bell pepper, diced small
- 1 cup fresh mint leaves, minced
- 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1/4 lemon juice
- 1 clove garlic, minced very fine or crushed
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 romaine lettuce heart, leaves separated, washed and dried
Instructions
- Run the cauliflower through the shredding blade of your food processor. Put it in a microwaveable casserole with a lid, add a couple of tablespoons of water, and cover. Nuke it on high for 6 minutes.
- Uncover it as soon as it’s done, drain it, and let it cool a bit before continuing – stirring it from time to time helps release the steam.
- Okay, your cauliflower’s cool. Put it in a big darned mixing bowl. Dice up all your other veggies, and chop your mint, and throw all of that in with the cauliflower. Stir it all up.
- Mix the olive oil, lemon juice, and garlic together. Pour over the salad, and toss very well to coat everything. Salt and pepper to taste, and chill before serving.
