Yield
Serves 3-4
Ingredients
2 heads cauliflower (finely ground)
½ cup fresh lemon juice
1 cup olive oil
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon black pepper
¾ teaspoon sea salt
Bunch of fresh parsley leaves
Bunch of fresh mint leaves
Bunch of fresh cilantro leaves
13 ounce jar Greek olives (pitted)
Recipe Directions
1. Put the cauliflower in a food processor or blender and pulse until the texture is somewhat like couscous. If you are not sure what is couscous, the texture it will be rough and grainy, with the bits a little larger than grits, but smaller than rice.
2. In the large bowl, combine all the ingredients and thoroughly mix. Refrigerate. The refrigeration is important, because it allows the flavors to blend.
3. Leave it in there for at least an hour, but six hours is better. (Sometimes it is hard to be that patient, because this stuff is so good!).

Thank you! I had yet another improvisation with chopped green onion and celery together with jalapeño pepper. To make it smoother i added coconut flour it came out perfect.

Wow, I just made this recipe and stuck it in the fridge and I'm already excited to eat it... must be patient... must be patient. I added GARLIC as well and a bit more SALT. The next time I'm going to give sundried tomatoes a try, as a few others suggested. Nice recipe.

I wasn't too fond of the entire recipe-- Maybe the olives around here suck. But I grated the cauliflour added a dash of cinnamon and added the whole thing to
Ani Phyo's Dolmas recipe! It rocked. Thanks Matt, thanks Pandora, thanks Carrie.

This was really good.
I made it a second time and mixed in a walnut meat, sun dried tomatoes, some cinnamon, put it in grape leaves (from the jar,not raw), and let the rolls marinate in lemon juice and olive oil. It made wonderful dolmas.
Also good atop a salad of greens.

That sounds like something I tried with pine nuts... I can't wait to try this nut-free version :D

I love kalamata olives, and this recipe really highlighted their flavor. I served this as a side for non-raws and received many compliments.

I used scallions,tomato and english cucumber. Needless to say it was yummy. It is such a diverse recipe. My boss thought is was real couscous. I told her it was cauliflower and she wants the recipe.

I used a purple cauliflower because it was all I had. Talk about a garish dish! No one at work could figure out what I was eating!

This was soooo good. I added some minced grape tomatoes for color, and a little bit of almond butter to make it stickier. It made a great nori roll filling with grated carrots =]

This is an original recipe... however you can improvise with soaked sun-dry tomatoes or red pepper for a color. Thank you for pointing this out

Have you included everything in the ingredients? Looks as if there are sun-dried tomatoes in that (or peppers?).
