What Is Cauliflower Rice?

Cauliflower rice is light and fluffy with a similar texture to long grain or brown rice. You can make it yourself by grating cauliflower in a food processor or using a box grater. You can also buy it in the frozen or produce section in the grocery store.

How To Serve This Easy Side Dish

I serve this yummy side dish with grilled chicken or fish. It’s perfect to make on a busy weeknight since it takes less than 20 minutes to make. For a quick lunch, load Cauliflower Fried Rice into lettuce cups. Right before serving, finish off Cauliflower Fried Rice with a sprinkle of sliced green onions and some spicy Sriracha sauce.
