Instructions

Step 1

All ingredients can be adjusted to your liking. I like to buy the steamer packages of cauliflower that I can microwave to save time. Rinse cooked cauliflower in cold water. Make sure to drain everything really well. Put Cauli-rice into a mesh strainer and press out water. Add all ingredients to a large bowl. I add the frozen peas and carrots directly from the freezer without thawing, as it helps chill the salad. Mix well. Season with salt and pepper to your liking. If the rest of your family is not doing low carb, it’s delicious with tortilla chips or Doritos.
