A grain-free cauliflower couscous salad featuring fresh veggies, herbs, creamy feta, pomegranate, and a zesty citrus dressing with optional pomegranate molasses for an extra burst of flavor.

Ingredients

1 small cauliflower

4 spring onions, finely sliced

½ cucumber, finely diced

1 red or orange pepper, seeded and diced

100 g radishes, thinly sliced

2 large handfuls fresh mint, chopped

2 large handfuls fresh parsley, chopped

100 g feta cheese

Seeds from ¼ pomegranate

½–1 Tbsp pomegranate molasses

For the dressing:

5 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Finely grated zest of ½ orange

Juice of 1 orange

Sea salt and freshly ground pepper

Instructions

  1. Grate the cauliflower using a box grater or food processor until it resembles couscous. Leave some texture intact.
  2. In a large bowl, combine the cauliflower with spring onions, cucumber, red/orange pepper, radishes, mint, parsley, feta, and pomegranate seeds.
  3. Whisk together olive oil, orange zest, orange juice, salt, and pepper. Pour over the salad and toss to coat.
  4. Just before serving, drizzle with pomegranate molasses for extra flavor.

Notes

For extra crunch, consider adding toasted almonds or pistachios.

For a vegan version, omit feta or substitute with plant-based cheese.

If you prefer more sweetness, mix in golden raisins or dried apricots.
