Notes

  • Pre-riced cauliflower should be available at your local grocery store and is a convenient option if you're short on time (or blenders).
  • Look for cauliflower that is blemish-free, with bright green leaves.
  • If you don't have a blender, grate the cauliflower the same way you would grate a cheese.
