When crushed in a blender, cauliflower turns into the "rice" that proponents of healthy eating and paleo diets adore: no gluten, no fast carbohydrates.

How to cook Raw cauliflower salad

Step 1

Prepare your dressing. Grate the garlic on a fine grater, mix with lemon juice and leave for 5-7 minutes. Add salt, sugar, ginger, rice vinegar and sesame oil. Stir in the hot pepper flakes and black pepper.

Step 2

Separate the cauliflower into florets and chop them. Place the florets in the bowl of a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs that resemble rice or couscous.

Step 3

Transfer the "rice" to a platter, drizzle with lemon juice, and pour over most of the dressing. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts, sunflower and sesame seeds, mint or cilantro leaves. Pour over the remaining dressing and leave for 10-15 minutes to brew.
