Mediterranean Cauliflower Rice & Cookbook Giveaway

December 29, 2017 By Patricia 28 Comments

Mediterranean Cauliflower Rice is just what I needed after indulging in rich holiday treats. This salad is wonderful warm or chilled, and it makes a delicious addition to a light meal. You might also love the cookbook giveaway at the end of this post!

Mediterranean Cauliflower Rice is a fabulous and healthy dish from the ADA. You'll love the flavors in this cauliflower rice dish.

I’ve eaten my share of Christmas cookies this season, and we still have New Year’s celebrations to get through. I am eager to start eating a little healthier, which is why I was excited to recently receive a great cookbook from the American Diabetes Association (ADA).

Check out the giveaway at the end of this post! 

Mediterranean Cauliflower Rice is a colorful and flavorful dish perfect for any meal. This cauliflower rice dish is from the American Diabetes Association and it's delicious!

After flipping through the split pages of the cookbook (showing mix-and-match options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner), I decided to make Mediterranean Cauliflower Rice. I love anything with a Mediterranean vibe, and I love cauliflower. If you’re a fan, too, try my Kung Pao Cauliflower recipe. It’s a like take out but better! 

According to the ADA, nearly 30 million Americans live with diabetes, and 1 in 3 face pre-diabetes. Whether you have diabetes or you’re looking for healthier meal options, consider the ADA’s cookbook, The Complete Month of Meals Collection: Hundreds of Diabetes Friendly Recipes and Nearly Limitless Meal Combinations.

Mediterranean Cauliflower Rice is a healthy and tasty side for any meal. You'll love this flavorful cauliflower rice dish.

You’ll find help with meal planning and a trove of healthy recipe options — including Mediterranean Cauliflower Rice — in this cookbook. All the recipes are designed to meet the ADA’s updated nutrition guidelines.

I used prepared cauliflower rice from Trader Joe’s (this has been a busy season!) but you could make your own by simply whizzing up a head of cauliflower in the food processor.

For more details on how to prepare cauliflower rice check out my recipe for Kimchi and Cauliflower Fried Rice with Poached Eggs.

Mediterranean Cauliflower Rice is a fabulous side dish that is perfect with any meal. You'll love this cauliflower rice dish for its flavor and colors, and it's so easy to make, too!

This recipe is beyond easy to make. I added some seasonings of my own — black pepper, crushed red pepper, dried parsley, and of course, garlic. You can switch things up as you like, or follow the recipe to the letter.

I loved this cauliflower rice dish the next day, cold, straight from the fridge! It’s the perfect side to serve as part of a light and healthy meal.

    I have been making my own cauliflower rice for a while now, but boy was I excited to find frozen riced cauliflower at the grocery store recently! It really speeds up my after work supper prep. I am definitely clicking over to read the kung pao rice recipe next and the one with poached eggs. :) gwingal

    This sounds delicious! I was actually thinking it would be wonderful chilled and served in place of a rice or pasta salad in summer. I think I will try it both ways :)

    Yum! Cauliflower rice is our favorite -- and we're always looking for ways to make it. We basically never eat rice or potatoes anymore.
