Raw Cauliflower Rice
Raw cauliflower rice is a healthy and delightful alternative to traditional rice. It is made from cauliflower that has been finely grated or processed into rice-like grains. This rice can be used in a variety of raw or vegan recipes. It's low-carb, grain-free, gluten-free, and nutrient-rich option. Use it in a variety of creative ways for raw and cooked vegan recipes! It offers rice-like texture and mild flavor that can be easily customized to suit individual tastes. Use it as a base for raw vegan grain-free bowls or as a raw side dish.

Ingredients
- 1 head of cauliflower
- 1 tablespoon olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 tablespoon lemon or lime juice
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Start by removing the leaves and core from a head of cauliflower.
- Cut the cauliflower into smaller florets for easier processing.
- Place the florets in a food processor or blender. Pulse the cauliflower until it reaches a rice-like consistency. Be careful not to over process, as it can turn mushy. (If you don't have a food processor, you can use a box grater to grate the cauliflower into rice-sized pieces.)
- Once you have the cauliflower rice, transfer it to a bowl, you can enjoy the cauliflower as is or add some additional flavorings.
- Drizzle the olive oil and lime juice over the mixture and toss to combine and evenly distribute any added flavorings..
- Season with salt and pepper to taste.
