Kick up the freshness factor of a summer salad by using cauliflower rice (cauliflower florets that have been finely chopped in a food processor) instead of grains. This cauliflower rice salad is also a great way to showcase the rainbow-hued cauliflower available at farmers markets this time of year. In the photo above, you’ll see how it looks using classic white cauliflower. In the video below, we used purple.

We had this today for dinner. It was scrumptious, delicious and better than I imagined it would be. My whole family asked for seconds, and my husband had thirds! Will have this quite regular.
