Instructions

Slice the cauliflower, cucumbers, and radishes using a mandolin or a knife. Place the sliced veggies in a large bowl and toss with salt.
In a separate small bowl, combine Greek yogurt, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, pepper, honey, and minced garlic. Whisk until smooth.
After draining any liquid from the vegetables, add the peas, chopped herbs, and scallions to the bowl with cauliflower. Gently fold in the yogurt dressing and mix well.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or lemon juice if needed. Garnish with additional herbs, Aleppo chili flakes, and freshly ground pepper.

Notes

For added crunch, feel free to include more vegetables like bell peppers or carrots.
The salad can be made in advance; just toss in the yogurt dressing right before serving.
