I have made this several times because everyone loves it. It's so good for camping! I have only used frozen riced cauliflower with this—it's so easy and you only need to thaw and drain off some of the liquid. Thank you for this recipe!

This was great! Even won over my mom and husband who gave it the side eye at first. Will definitely make again!

I had this cauliflower cevichi at a restaurant, the other day, served on on oil, baked tortillas garnish with alfalfa sprouts. It was amazing. I certainly will be making it to take the the get-togethers that I go to all the time. In addition to how wonderful it is it can sit out, un-refrigerated, without the fear of going bad like seafood cevichi can, so quickly.
