Working in batches, pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor (or grate on the large holes of a box grater) until broken down into rice-sized pieces. Spread the cauliflower rice on a clean kitchen towel, gather the edges, and squeeze firmly over the sink to remove as much moisture as possible. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with the remaining 1/2 tsp salt.
