Hi friends!

Time for a new recipe. This one is super simple. I actually introduced you to it when I served this Ginger Peach Turkey Tenderloin over Confetti Cauliflower Rice back in August. Since then I’ve made it several more times so I thought it deserved a moment in the spotlight with its own post.

I’ve mentioned before that cauliflower isn’t my favorite vegetable…but there’s something about this chili lime flavor combo that I absolutely love. I use it to flavor corn on the cob as well. My current favorite is this Weber Thai Chili Seasoning, but plain chili powder works as well.

To help this come together quickly, I chose a few quick cooking veggies like zucchini, red pepper, onion, and corn and mixed it with steamed cauliflower rice. Yep, I buy the steamable frozen bags…just look for one with only cauliflower (and maybe a little salt) on the ingredient list. You could make the cauliflower rice yourself if you’re into that…but I can’t tell you how since I’ve never done it.

Add some lime juice and chili powder at the end and BOOM! The perfect dinner side dish. To add a little protein punch, you could mix in some leftover chicken or turkey or keep it vegetarian by adding some steamed edamame or some tofu.

Here’s how you make it:
