Butternut Squash and Cauliflower Mac and Cheese

Calling all Mac and Cheese lovers!

I am so excited about this recipe because who doesn’t love mac and cheese?

Many of us grew up on the creamy, cheesy pasta and I admit that it gets a mediocre rap on the health front. Cheese, in moderation, is a good source of calcium and vitamin D but too much is high in saturated fat and sodium which should be avoided in excess.

What makes this dish especially noteworthy is that it’s made with three unlikely ingredients: Butternut squash, cauliflower and Bolthouse Farms Ranch.

Yes, this mac and cheese will help you, your kids and your significant other help meet your 5+ daily servings of fruit and veggies!

I used Bolthouse Farms Classic Ranch dressing. Bolthouse Farms salad dressings are on my list of must-have products year-round because they have fewer calories and fat, but all the flavor and creaminess you crave. They are also incredibly versatile – from salads to mac and cheese! All their dressing have 60 calories and five grams of fat or less per serving with no added preservatives or artificial flavors.
