Serving and Storing the Cauliflower Parsnip Puree

Cauliflower Parsnip Puree is best enjoyed the day it is made or the day after. Due to cauliflower holding more water than other vegetables, if you store the puree for too long, it will become more liquified as the days pass.

However, if you do have leftovers, and want to keep them for a day or two, I’d recommend storing them in an airtight container, and in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
