A mild distant cousin to broccoli, versatile cauliflower is often cast as the snack that’s chosen last. Transform this overlooked sidekick into an undercover superhero.
Cauliflower like you’ve never seen it before
Fruit and cauliflower smoothie
Make your smoothies filling and even more nutritious with Compliments Frozen Cauliflower Florets. For a simple smoothie, blend together 1 banana (not frozen); 1 cup each almond milk, cauliflower florets (cook according to package instructions), and Compliments Field Berry Blend; 1 large spoonful natural peanut butter; and 2 pitted Medjool dates for a smidge of sweetness.
Cauliflower sweet potato mash-up
Transform dinner with this cauliflower sweet potato mash! It’s the same sweet potato flavour you love, but pumped up with the nutritional value of cauliflower. Boil 2 cubed peeled sweet potatoes until tender, about 8 minutes, adding 2 cups frozen cauliflower florets during the last few minutes of cooking. Drain, then purée with knobs of butter and a generous pinch each salt and pepper until silky-smooth.
Cauliflower hummus
Blitz together an easy veggie dip that’s perfect for a Mediterranean-style mezze platter, after-school dipping, or as a veggie-forward addition to a game-day snack spread! To make, blend 3 cups of thawed, cooked cauliflower with 2 tbsp of tahini, a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and a large pinch of salt and—voilà—vegetarian hummus is served. Tip: Drizzle generously with olive oil and garnish with toasted sesame or sunflower seeds for a crunchy addition before serving.
