For the salad:

  • 1 onion chopped
  • 2 garlic cloves crushed
  • ½ bunch parsley

  • 60 g 2oz flaked almonds
  • 200 g 7oz Cherry tomatoes

  • DIRECTIONS
    1. Cut the cauliflower into small florets/Chunks. Working in batches, place the cauliflower in a food processor and pulse (in 1-2 second pulses) until the cauliflower has the texture of rice or couscous – don’t over process or it will get mushy. Set aside.
    2. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until slightly golden, add crushed garlic, sauté for 1-2 minutes more. Add cauliflower rice, season with salt and cook for 4-5 minutes, until slightly soften. Transfer to a large bowl to cool.
    3. Meanwhile: chop the parsley, mint and green onion. Cut in half cherry tomatoes.
    4. Toast flaked almonds in a dry pan over medium-low heat until lightly golden.
    5. To the bowl with the cauliflower rice add chickpeas, halved tomatoes, chopped mint, chopped parsley, chopped green onion and toasted almonds.
    6. Make the dressing: in a small bowl whisk all dressing ingredients.
    7. Pour the dressing over the salad and stir well.
