Cauliflower Rice & Avocado Salad – This One’s Good

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. 

The rest of the salad is just filled with lots of fresh, crisp, chopped veggies. You can make the whole thing ahead of time.

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.

It’s dressed with simply salt and a little lemon. Doesn’t need anything else!

    I would like to substitute frozen cauliflower – what is the best way to use it?

    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.

    Can I use frozen broccoli rice instead?

      I can;t say. It will not taste the same and be a totally different type of result. Doesn’t mean it won’t be good, just means that I don’t know!
