When I made a trip to a local grocery store in Dallas, Texas, their delicious, dairy-free pesto sauce and cauliflower rice inspired me. Cauliflower rice is a fantastic alternative for those who are grain-free. I can’t tell you that it tastes like rice. However, cauliflower rice has excellent texture and takes on the taste of other vibrant and flavorful ingredients! It’s the perfect base for this dish and hosts a ton of nutritional benefits.
Cauliflower is an excellent source of antioxidants including vitamin C, manganese, beta-carotene, and quercetin, which help to decrease oxidative stress in our cells. These antioxidants also help to support phase one and two detoxification pathways. The fiber found in cauliflower also helps eliminate toxins from our body.
Loaded with protein from the ground beef and the tasty addition of onions, your cauliflower rice recipe gets an upgrade with my delicious Dino Kale Pesto.
