Since you are not telling us your CMake version I can't say for sure, 
but it may just be that the FindBoost module does not know about the 
newer Boost version.

set(Boost_ADDITIONAL_VERSIONS 1.55 1.55.0)
find_package(Boost)

Make sure to do that with a clean cache (e.g. new build dir), otherwise 
the result of the previous run will be reused.
