Chef notes

This dip takes all the spicy, tangy flavor of buffalo wings and turns them into a better-for-you — but still delicious — appetizer.

Ingredients

  • 1 head cauliflower, broken into florets
  • 2 teaspoons vegetable oil
  • Kosher salt and fresh ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted
  • 1/4 cup mild hot sauce, such as Frank's RedHot
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons crumbled blue cheese
  • Celery leaves, roughly chopped
  • Baby carrots, celery sticks and radishes, for dipping

Preparation

1.

Preheat oven to 425°F.

2.

Toss the cauliflower, vegetable oil, salt and pepper on a baking sheet. Place in the oven and roast until browned and tender, about 30 minutes.

3.

While the cauliflower is still warm, place in a food processor with the butter and hot sauce and process for about 8 pulses, chopped just fine enough to hold together (it will look sort of like tuna salad).

4.

Scrape into a serving bowl. Stir in the sour cream and top with crumbled blue cheese and chopped celery leaves. Serve with veggies for dipping.
