This super delicious cauliflower couscous dish is the lunch for hot summer days. It comes along with mango, refreshing cucumber, fruity pomegranate seeds and fragrant cilantro. Are you already familiar with cauliflower couscous also known as cauliflower rice? If not yet, you really need to try it. The cauliflower is shredded into rice size and eaten raw. No worries, raw cauliflower is delicate and easily digestible. And ist tastes super good when combined with the right ingredients and a great dressing. I serve it with a super creamy and satisfying peanutbutter sauce. This tastes so good and satisfying. Looking forward to your feedback, enjoy summer, yours Lea
