Buffalo Cauliflower Bites and Cheater Vegan Ranch Dip

Buffalo Cauliflower Bites a meatless version of your favorite buffalo wings. No breading station required – these are so easy!!

These tangy spicy bites are the perfect appetizer, game day snack or late night munchie. Serve ’em up with this Cheater Vegan Ranch Dip and I dare you to try to stop eating them. I call this dip “cheater” because I used a store bought processed ingredient as the base.  Most vegan ranch recipes call for silken tofu or cashews soaked for 3-4 hours.  I didn’t have tofu and I didn’t want to wait 3-4 hours for my cashews to soak.  A quick look around the fridge to see what else I had on hand and voila, Cheater Vegan Ranch was born.

These bites are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside and so full of flavor. These are meant for sharing, but I’m pretty sure you won’t want to. 😉 And because these are made with cauliflower instead of the traditional stuff buffalo bites are made with (chicken), they are healthier! So go ahead and chow down guilt free!
