    This lemon herb cauliflower rice is a great keto vegetarian side dish for the summer. A simple dish packed full of flavour. Light and refreshing it is a delicious side salad or hearty enough to be a main dish

    Cauliflower rice is cooked in a pan to keep it dry and to give an almost couscous like texture. It also helps for the cauliflower rice absorb the flavours of the lemon and herbs. Chopped fresh mint and parsley make a refreshing combination as well as pairing great with the lemon.

    How to Serve Lemon Herb Cauliflower Rice

    Whilst you could serve this cauliflower rice with just the lemon and herbs I added ribbons of grilled zucchini and Feta cheese. You could add more vegetables to the rice or a few olives too. Add more zucchini ribbons but mix them into the cauliflower salad.
