- 2 tablespoons Lime, juiced
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt

Directions
Step 1
Cut the cauliflower into florets and place them in a food processor. Pulse until the cauliflower reaches a rice-like consistency, taking care not to over-process.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute or until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the cauliflower rice to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5-7 minutes, until the cauliflower is tender but not mushy.
Step 4
Stir in the lime juice, lime zest, salt, and pepper. Cook for an additional minute to let the flavors meld.
Step 5
Remove the skillet from heat and fold in the chopped cilantro. Adjust seasoning with more salt and lime juice to taste if necessary.
Step 6
Serve warm as a side dish to complement your favorite Whole30 main courses.
