Cook’s Notes 

–If you are making your own cauliflower rice, cut the florets from the head of cauliflower, then place in a food processor and pulse until it becomes rice-sized cauliflower pieces.  

–If not enjoying right away, combine all ingredients except the apples, salt, lemon zest, lemon juice and olive oil until ready to serve. Then, add those items into the bowl and enjoy.
