Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients

  

• 1 Large Cauliflower Head
• 3 Tbsp 2% Milk
• 1 Tbsp butter Salted
• 2 Tbsp Light Sour Cream
• 1/4 Tsp garlic salt
• black pepper To taste
• 1/4 Cup chives Chopped
• 2 Cups water

Method

 

1. Bring two cups of water to a boil in a large simmering pot.
2. Place cauliflower in boiling water and cook for approximately 15 minutes, or until very soft.
3. Drain your cauliflower using a strainer, place it back in the pot, and add the milk, butter, sour cream, garlic salt, and black pepper.
4. Mix all ingredients until the texture is creamy - do not over mash. I prefer using a hand-held blender to create a creamy texture but feel free to use a masher if you don’t have an electric one.
5. Once you're finished mashing, garnish with chives and serve.

Notes

• You can even garnish with bacon bits or grated cheese for added flavor, healthy fats and protein.
• This dish is still great as leftovers, so make sure to store in an airtight container.
