Ingredients

  • 8 cups bite-size cauliflower florets
  • 4 cloves garlic, crushed and peeled
  • cup nonfat buttermilk
  • 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
  •         1 teaspoon of light butter
  •         ½ teaspoon salt
  • Dash of pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh chives for garnish

    INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Steam cauliflower florets and garlic until very tender, about 12-15 minutes. (You can do this by placing cauliflower and garlic in a  covered microwave-safe bowl with ¼ cup water and microwaving on high for 3-5 minutes.)
  2. Place the cooked cauliflower and garlic in a food processor. Add buttermilk, 2 teaspoons olive oil, butter, salt and pepper; pulse several times, then process until smooth and creamy. (This can also be done with a handheld masher for a more “homestyle” texture.)
  3. Transfer to a serving bowl. Top with the remaining 2 teaspoons of olive oil and add the chives, if desired. Enjoy!
