Mashed Cheddar Cauliflower

Mashed cauliflower tastes as wonderfully as mashed potatoes with fewer carbs.  This is a side dish that is easy to prepare and goes well with meatloaf or many other meals where you would normally crave mashed potatoes.

Ingredients:

4 cups cauliflower florets

¼ cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt

½ tablespoon fresh parsley

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Salt, pepper

Directions:

1. Prepare a large pot with two inches of water to boil.
2. Place cauliflower in a strainer over the boiling water.  Steam for 10-15 minutes to soften.
3. Transfer cauliflower to a food processor. Pulse.
4. Add yogurt, parsley, garlic powder, onion powder.  Pulse.
5. Transfer to a serving dish.  Top with shredded cheddar cheese.  Microwave 30 seconds to melt cheese.
6. Serve!
