Greek cauliflower rice is my low carb twist on greek orzo. You will not miss the carbs with this bright and flavorful dish. Carbs are not part of the meal that offers the flavor. Carbs are there to fill you up. You can fill your self up with vegetables and less guilt. The best part for me is that I don’t have a post-meal sleepy feeling. Since I moved to a plant and fish-based diet, I feel more alert. If you are someone that is not sure about moving away from the carbs, start with recipes like this greek cauliflower rice and match it with greek turkey meatballs for a complete meal.
