Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice
Something I had seen but kept putting off making was cauliflower rice. I was skeptical if it would taste good, and was just plain being lazy! So when I saw it already chopped up (thank you Trader Joes), I decided to give it a try for some extra veggies.
Now, I would say the favor really makes it. I make cilantro lime brown rice all the time and love it so I thought I would do the same with cauliflower. It turned out amazing and I will definitely be making it again.
I’ve been using it- well just like rice duhh! The best part about cauliflower rice is you can eat a lot of it for little calories! 2/3 cup has only 25 calories….drop the mic.
Today I paired it with blackened cod and steamed broccoli and onions. Now, this is a great way to get a ton of veggies in!
So, it is really easy to make!! You can buy it already chopped up if you are lazy like me, or buy a head of cauliflower!
