This week I made potato salad using cauliflower instead of potato. I put in mayo, celery, onion. My husband loved it. I make mashed cauliflower all the time in place of mashed potatoes as well.0

We love riced cauliflower, both raw and cooked. Cut up a cauliflower into pieces and put in a food processor and process until it's about the size and consistency of rice. Then you can cook it or use it raw. We use it raw under some nice sauce with veggies. Very filling.
We also do mashed cauliflower as erica listed above. That's very good. And I have done cauliflower pizza doe, but that's more work and less interesting than the other options. But there are lots of recipes for all these options online.
I have even used the cauliflower rice as a rice substitute in homemade sushi and that was good!

Just found this great recipe yesterday for cauliflower and lemon cream sauce: detoxinista.com/2015/04/creamy-lemon-asparagus-pasta/
Cant wait to try it!
There's also an app called Yummly that can separate recipes by ingredients and has tons of clean eating recipes.

I like my cauliflower simple and delish. Set the oven to 370 break the cauliflower up into pieces and toss into a bowl. Pour a teaspoon for olive oil over it and a good amount of garlic salt. Toss to coat evenly and roast on a pan for like 15-20 minutes. When edges start to brown take it out and enjoy the deliciousness. I am actually making this today.0

I do buffalo cauliflower bites! SO GOOD. I put the cauliflower florets in a ziploc, toss in some garlic salt, pepper and paprika, JUST enough olive oil to lightly coat the florets. Toss it all around and smoosh it so it all gets covered.
Then I throw it all in one layer on a baking sheet, toss it in the oven at 425 degrees and bake till it's just barely fork tender. I take it out, throw it in a bowl, toss with Frank's Red Hot Wing Sauce (the kind that you DON'T have to mix with butter, because it's already mixed for you) just to barely coat, and throw it back in the oven for 2-3 minutes.
BOOM! Delicious cauliflower bites. I started doing that as a healthier alternative to wings... Now I crave that MORE than wings.2 -

I loveee substituting cauliflower in place of mashed potatoes! Here's a link if interested > http://nomnompaleo.com/post/1657598867/best-make-ahead-side-garlic-cauliflower-mashed
But to be honest, nothing can beat roasted cauliflower with some EVOO, garlic and herbs!1 -
I really like cauliflower as a substitute for rice, but last night I made cauliflower mash and it had the worst aftertaste!
I don't know if I steamed it too long or what, but it was awful.0 -
Hello. New here.
I also made Cauliflower Crust Pizza. It was amazing.
Link to recipe: https://www.facebook.com/myrecipes/videos/10152774658647135
The trick is to steam the cauliflower long enough to get rid of the moisture. I recommended baking it 5-10 mins longer than the recipe calls for too. Enjoy!0 -

This creamy alfredo sauce is really good. No, it didn't taste like alfredo sauce, but it tasted yummy. Perhaps if you added parmesan, it'd be more alfredo-ey. https://wherethewildrosegrows.wordpress.com/2015/03/24/lets-get-saucy/#comments0

roasted cauliflower is awesome with a bit of Malt Vinegar and if you have a dehydrator you can make cauliflower "popcorn"0

Chef from a world class spa spilled the secrets of creamy soups. Cauliflower and rice milk. He said they tried every possible combination and that is it. I've made carrot ginger bisque so far, it was great. Going to make cream of asparagus soup today.

That's interesting. I hadn't heard that tip, but I want to try it. Do you process the cauliflower and rice milk in a blender?

Cauliflower Pizza crust is great! A friend made it for me, I loved it. I made it this past week, my kids were grossed out and then after it was baked...my girls tasted a bite and LOVED it. They begged me to make it again this week. It was also very filling!0

Last night I roasted some cauliflower in the oven for 15mins @ 200C... made a simple cheese sauce and sprinkled some grated pecorino romano on top.
Almost as good as homemade mac & cheese.0 -

Here's a link to the original pizza crust recipe posted by it's inventor http://yourlighterside.com/2009/05/recipe-the-original-cauliflower-pizza-dough-2/
Did you cook it at high enough temperature and for long enough? Perhaps turn the crust over halfway through cooking. I've made it with raw fresh cauliflower, with raw frozen cauliflower, and with cooked frozen cauliflower. Mine's never been soggy so I suspect you just needed to cook it longer.

I loved it mashed. I also love to steam it and sprinkle Old Bay on it. Man, it is so good! I love the versatility of cauliflower. I feel like when it is cooked, it takes on whatever flavor you add to it. Mashed I usually add a couple of different things like FF cottage cheese, sour cream, and a little shredded cheddar, garlic too. I love the idea of cauliflower rice. I'm going to have to try that! How would you cook it?0
