Cauliflower rice salad with Corona beans, a complete main dish where the proteins of the beans combine with the fibers of the cauliflower. Just add a slice of bread for a balanced and delicious lunch or dinner.
To prepare the cauliflower ‘rice,’ I used a particular tool I had never seen before, the Veggie Ricer, that’s why I decided to review it. If you want to know what I think, here’s the link to this review.
If you prepare this recipe, you will find it’s a quick dish, also suitable for filling your lunch box.
For this recipe, I used purple cauliflower, which is a cross between broccoli and common cauliflower. This variety of cauliflower is rich in carotenoids and anthocyanins, which have antioxidant properties.

- 1 Food Processor Veggie Ricer
- 1 Salad Bowl

Steps
Wash the cauliflower under running water and separate the stalk from the florets.
Place the florets in the Veggie Ricer or grate the cauliflower. You can cook the cauliflower in the microwave, steam it, or simply in a pan for a few minutes.
Transfer everything to a salad bowl, add the beans, oil, and lemon.
Serve warm.
