Salt

Rice 1/2 of these ingredients: cauliflower, cilantro, garlic, salt, pepper, onion, & bell pepper by pulsing in food processor. Place mixture in medium bowl, and repeat process with other 1/2 of ingredients, then mix in cheddar cheese. Beat egg, and mix into cauliflower mixture. Press into greased casserole dish, and bake at 450 for approximately 20 minutes.

Serve a side dish. I thought of mine as a rice replacement.

Would this work without the cheese or is that what kind of holds it all together? Or maybe the egg will help.

I think the cheese and egg do hold it together. But I'm sure there is a dairy free alternative. Also, for me, I was looking at it as a rice substitute, so holding together wasn't important to me. I just love cheese!

Did you two ever try making that cheese made from nuts that was posted in here a long while ago?

Ya know, I have to admit...the recipe intimidates me a bit. Is it hard? I am hoping I am just being a big lazy baby because I would love to make cashew cheese... it sounds so good!!!

I haven't tried it, I just haven't been brave enough, yet...If you beat me to it, I hope you share your results!

Here's the original post, in case others are looking for it...

I just had a stellar lunch!

I started out with some of the Quinoa and Black Beans that I usually have stocked in the freezer and topped it with a very generous amount of fresh tomato salsa. Normally, that is where it stops and I love it like that. Right now where I am the avocados are just amazing, so I thought it would be good with this. Adding half of a ripe avocado cubed up was just the perfect idea! I ate it so quick, I forgot to take a picture of it, you'll have to imagine based on the recipe pic...
