Mediterranean Chicken and Rice Salad

YIELD: 2 servings

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups Cauliflower Rice
• 1 clove garlic, crushed
• 3 tablespoons wine vinegar
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon mayonnaise
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 cup diced cooked chicken
• 1/3 cup diced sweet red onion
• 1/2 cup diced celery
• 1/2 cup diced green pepper
• 1/3 cup chopped fresh parsley

INSTRUCTIONS:

1.  Steam your cauliflower “rice” until just tender; for this small amount, I put it in a bowl, add about 1 tablespoon of water, cover it, and microwave it on High for 5 minutes. Put it in the refrigerator to cool.
2.  Mix together the garlic, vinegar, oil, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper, and blend well.
3.  Toss the chicken, onion, celery, pepper, and parsley with the cooled cauliflower.
4.  Pour the dressing on the mixture and toss. This is good served right away, but even better the next day.
