Cauliflower Kale Mashers – On the Lighter Side

May 31, 2015

Cauliflower Kale Mashers. All the comfort food of mashed potatoes but lightened up. www.lorisculinarycreations.com

I cannot believe how warm it was today!  We hit 93 degrees at one point and it sure it telling me summer is almost here.  During the winter, I love some mashed potatoes and it’s one of my ultimate comfort foods to pair with steak or chicken. However, when the weather warms up like it is now, I still want my taters but not the heaviness of it. I’ve made mashed potatoes with an equal amount of potato and cauliflower, but this time took the ratio of cauliflower to potato as 4:1.  Then added chopped kale for some color and texture to create a delicious comforting cauliflower kale side dish without the heaviness of too much potato.


This recipe was quite good. Hubby loved the creaminess of the cauliflower and the texture of the kale. Of course a recipe isn’t “Lorified” until it has garlic added. And cauliflower kale mashers are perfect for warmer weather when we’re looking for foods on the lighter side.
