Cilantro Lime Cauliflower “Rice”

A great rice replacement as part of your cleanse diet can be the Cilantro Lime Cauliflower “Rice”

INGREDIENTS

  • 1 medium head (about 24 oz.) cauliflower, rinsed
  • 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 scallions, diced
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1-1/2 limes
  • 1/4 cup fresh chopped cilantro

DIRECTIONS

Remove the core and let cauliflower dry completely. Coarsely chop into florets. Place half the cauliflower in a food processor and pulse until the cauliflower is small and has the texture of rice or couscous—don’t over process or it will get mushy. Set aside and repeat with the remaining cauliflower.

Heat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add olive oil, scallions, and garlic and sauté about 3 to 4 minutes, or until soft. Raise the heat to medium-high. Add the cauliflower “rice” to the pan. Cover and cook approximately 5 to 6 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower is slightly crispy on the outside but tender on the inside.

Remove from heat and place in a medium bowl, and toss with fresh cilantro, lime juice, and pepper to taste.

  • 1 small red onion, diced

Raw Citrus Beet Salad

Tasty addition to your cleanse diet: Raw Citrus Beet Salad

INGREDIENTS

  • 3 medium to large beets, peeled and trimmed
  • 1 Valencia orange, zest and juice
  • 1 lime, zest and juice
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 1/2 cup chives, minced

DIRECTIONS

Grate beets and add to bowl.
Add zest and juice from entire orange.
Add zest and juice from lime to taste.
Add olive oil and toss to combine.
Add chives just before serving.

PRO TIPS

Grate beets in the food processor to avoid staining everything in your kitchen bright pink. The grated beets can be dressed and kept in the refrigerator, covered well, for a couple of days. They become more tender but don’t lose their texture, and the mixture becomes even sweeter as the beet juices mingle with the citrus. Toss again before serving.
