    Our simple recipe for Cilantro Lime Cauliflower Rice came to be when we were looking for a healthy rice alternative to serve with our equally simple Two-Ingredients Salsa Chicken.

    Cauliflower Rice is nothing new, and neither is the cilantro lime combination, but it doesn’t really matter. It’s a simple and delicious recipe that definitely holds up well as a side to a more flavor-intense main.

    It’s as easy as chopping a whole cauliflower head in a food processor, sautéing the “rice” in a bit of butter and some spices, and finally adding a handful of freshly chopped cilantro and a squeeze of fresh lime juice. Fifteen minutes max!
