Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice
This simple cilantro lime cauliflower rice recipe is made with fresh, sautéed cauliflower rice and finished with fresh lime and cilantro.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 head cauliflower cut into florets (or 3-4 cups cauliflower rice)

- 1 small onion diced
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lime zested and juiced
- ½ cup chopped cilantro
Instructions
- Place the cauliflower florets in a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower is small and resembles couscous. Set aside.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil, then add the onions and garlic and cook until soft and translucent, 5-7 minutes.
- Add the cauliflower rice and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper and continue to cook, stirring frequently until the cauliflower softens, 5-7 more minutes.

Notes
- My Top Tip: Don't over-process your cauliflower. If you leave it in the food processor for too long, it will get mushy. You want it to look like short-grain rice or couscous!
- Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 4-5 days in the fridge or up to 3 months in the freezer. Just reheat on the stove top when you're ready to eat!
