This delicious paleo cauliflower fried rice recipe quickly became a household favourite during my 30 day Paleo challenge and one we will continue to use going forward.
For those of you who turn your nose up at cauliflower rice, let me tell you it is not as bad as you think. Not only is it more nutritious than white rice and more delicious, cauliflower rice is a wonderful substitute for anyone wanting to avoid grains or wheat.
The beauty about this dish, virtually any vegetable goes. Feel free to play with whatever vegetables you have on hand.

Cauliflower rice is the bomb! What’s this about peeps turning their noses up it .. Don’t knock it till you tried it, ????
I find my cauliflower has a lot of water in it
Hi Chontarle, are you pulsing it in the food processor before you cook it? I have never had it come up wet before!
Looks yum!
