Ingredients:

• 1 head steamed cauliflower (over cooking is a little preferable)
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup buttermilk
• Buttermilk has more sodium than regular milk, but less fat than whole milk.
• If you do not have butter milk, you can make "sour milk" by adding 1/2 tablespoon of vinegar to 1/2 cup of skim milk and let it sit for about 5 minutes.
• salt & pepper to taste
• Chives to taste

Directions: 

 

Put the steamed cauliflower is a mixer and add olive oil. Allow the mixer to puree the cauliflower. Add buttermilk and allow the mixer to mash the cauliflower fully. Add salt & pepper to taste.
