Mashed Cauliflower
Love mashed potatoes but don’t love feeling weighed down by heavy fat and starchy carbohydrates? Try this healthy alternative to the American classic! With vegetable broth instead of milk, olive oil instead of butter, and hidden beans to add that same starchy texture the original dish is known for, this recipe makes a wonderful side dish that may quickly become the star of the meal!
