That kind of neutrality is not ideal for a stand-alone side (and why I prefer Roasted Cauliflower to raw), BUT it does give cauliflower a special power. Cauliflower is a stellar low-carb swap for carby, creamy potatoes in many dishes. In addition to bulking up creamy soups like Broccoli Cheddar Soup and Cauliflower Chowder, cauliflower makes a surprisingly tasty stand-in for spuds in mashed form....
