This is one of my favorite dishes to serve during a dinner party. It is extremely easy to make, and so full of flavor. Cauliflower rice is great for those looking to shed a few pounds and upkeep a low-carb diet. In comparison to regular rice, cauliflower rice has only 25 calories per cup vs. 218 calories in brown rice. The carb content is much lower as well. Cauliflower rice has 5 grams of carbs per cup vs. 46 grams of carbs in a cup of brown rice. That is a huge difference! This side dish can definitely come in handy during the summer months when we all want to look great in a bikini.
