4-5 oz. of cauliflower, steamed or boiled until very soft, save the cooking water if boiled
1 ounce of veggie broth
Dijon Mustard (use a good brand such as Grey Poupon (but non- maintenance dieters must use no more than ¼ teaspoon of Dijon and add 1 ½ teaspoons of dry mustard powder, Coleman's, McCormick, etc.)
fresh ground pepper 1/8 teaspoon or to taste
Adobo - a dash or to taste
chili powder - a dash or to taste
1 packet of Splenda - or to taste
dash of lime juice (lemon works, but lime is better)
Xanthan gum ½ teaspoon
Directions
cook the cauliflower thoroughly and let cool
place the cooked florets in a blender
add 1-2 tablespoons of the Dijon mustard (to taste) (or 1 to 1 ½ teaspoons of dry mustard powder (OR GROUND MUSTARD SEEDS) to taste)
add the veggie broth and fresh ground black pepper, or white pepper if you have it (but remember it is stronger, so use less)
liquefy the mixture until very smooth
slowly add in the chili powder, adobo, and Splenda, and let blend into the mix
now for the surprise!
squeeze a dash (2 teaspoons) of lime juice, and a half teaspoon of Xanthan gum
blend & refrigerate
It is great on salads and fabulous, amazing (!) over hot asparagus!
To vary this recipe, add horseradish, or substitute paprika for the chili powder! Your choice.
