Cauliflower Rice with Lime and Cilantro

Jump to Recipe·Print Recipe

Cauliflower rice is a delicious, healthy, and easy to make 21 Day Fix approved side dish recipe.

Confession #27  – My love for Pinterest is no secret.  I’ve said it before- how in the world did I function before it?  Especially at 3am when my youngest is up, for no particular reason, and I can’t get back to sleep.

I sometimes see other momma friends pinning away in the middle of the night.  You know who you are.

#strengthinnumbers

Anyway, I get SO disappointed when I try something that looks amazing on Pinterest, but it just doesn’t deliver.

Like the casserole I made this week.  It looked very promising and simple, but I just didn’t love it.

The recipe called for grated cauliflower, and I wasted almost a whole head of it.   Total bummer.

I did reserve a small amount and decided to try making cauliflower rice, something else I have seen pinned many times.

OMG.  Talk about a silver lining.

It was DELISH.  Like, for real.  And, if you are pinning this, I promise this ain’t no fail. It is yummy alone, as a side dish, or with carnitas or a burrito bowl!  So many options, you better get to it!

I only wish I had more, and I can’t wait to make it again.

Here is the delicious, easy, and healthy 21 Day Fix Cauliflower Rice recipe. Enjoy!

    I made broccoli rice and liked it, but I’m more excited about this one. What gave it the red color? I’m puzzled by that one.
    Thanks very much!

      Hi! I think you are seeing brown and not red…as the “rice” does kind of brown a bit (at least that is how I make it :).

    Do you measure the cauliflower green container when it’s chopped before you rice it or after cooking? I only ask because you get so much more volume after it’s been riced. I’m currently doing 21DFX.

      Hi Melissa – there is no hard and fast rule about this when it comes to veggies, but I do tend to measure while cooking, so I would say before for cauliflower rice.

    How much cauliflower do you use? It sldoesn’t how much in the recipe for quantity of anything. I just want to make sure my counts are right for 21 day fix. Thank you so much!
