Coconut Cilantro Cauliflower Rice Recipe

Cauliflower rice is one of my favorite low carb sides and I am always looking for ways to mix it up. Recently I was inspired to cook the cauliflower rice in some leftover coconut milk and I fell in love with the outcome. It's creamy, full of coconut flavor, and makes the perfect side dish for Asian, Indian, and tropical dishes. Depending on how you are serving it, consider adding chopped fruit like pineapple or mango.
