Note: This recipe appears in the South Beach Diet Cookbook. This was a different alternative to mashed potatoes. I have come to really enjoy cauliflower and I was looking forward to trying this side dish. It was totally different but not high on my list even though it's healthy. Even though the cookbook says you can fool people with these surpise mashed "potatoes." TOTALLY WRONG! You can taste the difference between cauliflower and pototatoes. This side dish is healthy for you and a good substitute if you're craving mashed potatoes and you want to lose weight fast. Also, if you don't have any butter spray, I highly recommend using  Organic Butter Infused Olive Oil from the Imperial Olive in Williamsburg, VA. For more info, visit www.TheImperialOlive.com.
