Cauliflower is having a moment. Besides being an excellent source of vitamin C, fiber, and vitamin B6, it seems to be a stand-in for just about anything: pizza crust, buffalo wings, are just a few of the favorites of ours, but when it comes to the basics, nothing beats cauliflower rice.
The low-carb, Paleo-friendly alternative to traditional rice is easy to whip up and can be paired with just about any dish you can conceive. Does it taste exactly like rice? No, but it makes a pretty good stand-in when you're looking to lighten up your meal. Less dense and chewy than rice, it has a light and fluffy texture, reminiscent of quinoa. We love it as a base for stir-fry, but for an easy weeknight dinner, serve it alongside a simple, healthy recipe.
