Detox Cauliflower Rice with Turmeric Toasted Seeds

Print

By

Replacing white rice with pulverized cauliflower is basically genius. You can eat a whole head of cauliflower instead of the portion of rice we are used to, and get only a fraction of the calories and carbohydrates of rice, so…. why not?!Spring is the perfect time to increase the amount of vegetables you eat and this plate has only vegetables, while giving you energy and health, it’s filling and full of flavour. Cauliflower “rice” looks just like rice, even if textures and flavors are slightly different, but in my opinion it tastes even better as it absorbs the sauce perfectly! This salad is fresh and filling, sun-dried cranberries add a wonderful sweetness and all the vegetables in it give you a mega nutrient boost. Mint and lemon dressing make it a perfect plate on a summer day.

Further Food Nutritionist Commentary:

Trying to cut back calories at your evening meal? Instead of using regular white rice, this recipe uses pulverized cauliflower for a similar taste with more vitamins and minerals, and fewer calories! Topped with a sweet dressing, this dish is bound to become a fresh and light summertime classic!
