Let’s chat about this Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice shall we? Doesn’t it look tasty? That’s because it is! Can you believe this is my first cauliflower rice recipe that I have ever posted? I know right? Because what is the paleo diet without some cauliflower rice? The flavours of this dish were inspired by my trip to Bali that Erik and I took back in October (can you believe it was that long ago? I can’t!). The food flavours there were just so incredible. I already want to plan my next trip back!

This Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice is paleo, Whole 30, vegan, GAPS, SCD friendly and is of course, gluten, grain and dairy free. It is such a great tasting side dish that pairs well with stir-fry, chicken or pork dishes. I even had some with my grassfed steak last week. 

I hope you love the rice! Please let me know if you try it.

Until next time, happy eating friends!
