Cauliflower Mushroom Risotto {gluten free, dairy free, vegan)
We love comfort food! Except this comfort food has had a healthy makeover!
This easy mushroom risotto is made with cauliflower rice instead of real rice. We love real rice too but it’s nice to have a change of pace. This dish can be used for any main dish, side dish, or snack- and feel free to add cheese too as you like.
Cauliflower is naturally loaded with detoxifying nutrients that help to naturally cleanse your liver, and the mushrooms are immune boosting and great for flavor and extra nutrients. Feel free to add your favorite veggies to this dish to make it your own.
Enjoy!
