This is a very simple cauliflower mash recipe to make, and tastes like mashed potatoes.
So if you’re looking for a way to get a different vegetable into your food repertoire, this might be for you! It’s a popular dish (with a few changes made by me of course) frequently called cauliflower “mashed potatoes” but there are no potatoes in here.
The dish stays well in the refrigerator and re-heats nicely in the microwave.
Ingredients:
- 1 head of cauliflower (per 2 people)
- 1 tablespoon of your choice of butter spread (I used Smart Balance with extra virgin olive oil)
- 2 garlic cloves
- sea salt
Directions:
- Wash and cut cauliflower
- Place cauliflower and garlic in a steamer and salt it lightly
- Steam until soft
- Place all in a blender along with the butter spread
- Blend to desired consistency
Serves: 2

The type of butter or butter spread you use makes a difference here. In my version above it accounts for half of the calories, all of the calories from fat, and most of the vitamin A.
