Never liked cauliflower rice before? Finally, a dish where it’s really, really food.
You’ll even want to eat the leftovers.
It all started when I had a guest whom I knew would appreciate a cauliflower rice dish. I started off by sautéing an onion…because onions simply make things like cauliflower rice (or quinoa, like in this post) taste amazing.
Whether you mix the whole salad together ahead of time, or keep the components separate and mix fresh, it doesn’t matter. Just add the avocado fresh.

I would like to substitute frozen cauliflower – what is the best way to use it?
We have a post on making cauliflower rice (from before the days it was readily available) over here:

Thank you! This is delicious! So easy and a good salad to keep in the fridge as a quick side.
Yumm! Frozen cauliflower?
The onion in the picture looks raw- are you supposed to sauté as per the I lnstructions?
There’s onion in the cooked cauliflower rice. I see that when I made the dish for the photo I also chopped some red onion but didn’t include tomatoes! Updated the recipe as per that version.
