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!

Ingredients

1 head of cauliflower
2 cloves garlic
Juice of 1 lime
1/4 cup cilantro

1.  Chop cauliflower head into florets and put in a food processor.
2.  Blend until it looks like rice.
3.  In a medium pan, add cauliflower and garlic

This makes the perfect side!!
