Steps:
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add a 12-ounce bag frozen riced cauliflower and broccoli, 1/2 cup finely chopped green beans, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper; cook until crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool. Stir in 1 tablespoon each lemon juice and olive oil, 1/2 cup pomegranate seeds and 1/4 cup each chopped parsley and mint.
VEGETABLE TABBOULEH WITH CHICKPEAS
This vegetable-packed salad requires no cooking, other than boiling water to soak the bulgur wheat. Sweet tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers and crisp asparagus provide texture, while creamy chickpeas add heft. A tangy shallot-lemon vinaigrette brightens the dish and soaks into the bulgur as it sits, developing more flavor over time. The salad can be made a few hours ahead; for best results, toss the salad with half of the dressing and reserve the remaining half. When ready to serve, toss with the reserved dressing to freshen it up. It's a satisfying vegetarian main, a great side for roasted meats and fish, or an easy make-ahead picnic dish.

- Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine shallot, mustard, lemon juice and garlic. Season with salt and pepper. While whisking constantly, slowly drizzle in oil until well blended.
