An unusual yet delicious pairing, this low carb Cauliflower Rice Salad with Artichoke Sauce is filling enough to be the main course of a meal but would also be a perfect complimentary side dish! Ever since I created this recipe, I like to have the Cauliflower Rice Salad with Artichoke Sauce ready-to-serve in the refrigerator because it is just that good and can be an addition to any type of meal! The Cauliflower Rice Salad with Artichoke Sauce is a high fat-low carb recipe, but the recipe is also gluten free, grain free, and soy free!
Although the flavors may sound a bit odd at first glance, especially if you do not know if you like artichoke hearts, I can assure you that the red onion, cauliflower, and artichoke sauce ingredients compliment each other very well! However, if you prefer more salt, garlic, black pepper, mustard, or red onion, add ingredients to reach your desired taste!
Additionally, if raw cauliflower does not agree with your digestive system and cooked cauliflower would be better, cook the cauliflower and chill it in the refrigerator before making the cauliflower rice, and if a warm dish is preferred, heat the artichoke sauce before mixing in the cauliflower rice.
