Description
A refreshing and healthy Cauliflower Couscous Salad that is perfect as a side dish or light main course.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium head of cauliflower, grated (about 4 cups)
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
- 1 cup cooked chicken, shredded or diced
- 1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by removing the leaves and stem from the cauliflower. Grate the cauliflower using a box grater or a food processor until it resembles couscous.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated cauliflower, diced red and yellow bell peppers, shredded chicken, red onion, and parsley.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Pour the dressing over the cauliflower mixture and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
- Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, chill for 1-2 hours.
- Serve cold as a refreshing side dish or light main course.
Notes
- For added crunch, consider mixing in some toasted almonds or sunflower seeds.
- Substitute the chicken with chickpeas for a vegetarian option, or add feta cheese for extra flavor.
