Ingredients

Croutons:

One medium sweet potato (about 7 ounces)

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

Flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

Mushrooms:

1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon tamari

1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar 

1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves 

12 ounces cremini mushrooms, brushed of any dirt and thinly sliced

1 medium clove garlic, finely chopped

Tabouli:

1 small head cauliflower

2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

Juice of 1/2 lemon

Flaky sea salt

Salad Cups:

2 heads little gem lettuce, separated into individual leaves

Directions

  1. For the croutons: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Peel the sweet potato and cut into small 1/2-inch cubes. Place on a baking sheet and toss with the oil and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Bake until they are crisp on the outside, about 20 minutes. 
  3. For the mushrooms: In a large sauté pan, add the oil, then tip in the tamari, vinegar, thyme, mushrooms and garlic. Sauté until the juices just evaporate and the flavors infuse, 8 to 9 minutes. 
  4. For the tabouli: In the meantime, grate the cauliflower into a mixing bowl and add the parsley, lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Mix well and set aside until ready to assemble the cups. 
  5. To assemble the salad cups, take a lettuce leaf, fill with a spoonful of the cauliflower tabouli, then a spoonful of the warm mushrooms and top with a scattering of the sweet potato croutons. Repeat with the remaining lettuce, tabouli, mushrooms and croutons.
