Healthy Buffalo Cauliflower Dip

Next, you mix up a delightful mixture of cream cheese and shredded mozzarella cheese.  I lightened my version up by subbing greek yogurt for part of the cheese.

Next up is adding classic Frank’s hot sauce to the mix.  You can add as little or as much as you’d like.  The 3/4 cup in the recipe is hot enough for flavor but not enough to burn your mouth for the rest of the night.  BUT hot food is super subjective so if you are sensitive to heat, start with a little less and you can always add more.  Just test it in the mixer.  This gives the dish that classic buffalo flavor.

The last step in my Healthy Buffalo Cauliflower Dip recipe is folding in green onions, blue cheese, and your roasted cauliflower florets.  You then roast the dish to golden perfection.

Serve with celery, crackers or chips for a totally addictive taste.  The cauliflower gives the dish substance without needing the meat.

The flavors in this Healthy Buffalo Cauliflower Dip recipe are cheesy, buffalo perfection!  The blue cheese and fresh green onions on top just take it over the top.  This entire pan can disappear from my house in NO TIME.

I promise it will be a hit at your party.

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 3 cups small cauliflower florets *
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 8 ounces reduced fat cream cheese, softened
• 7 ounces reduced fat shredded mozzarella
• 1 cup greek yogurt
• 3/4 cup Frank's Hot Sauce **
• 1/2 cup green onions, sliced
• 1/2 cup crumbled blue cheese
• garnish: extra green onions and crumbled blue cheese

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and line a sheet pan with foil.  Spray with cooking spray.  Also, spray a 9x9 casserole dish.
• Toss the cauliflower in the olive oil, salt, and pepper.  Spread in one layer on the sheet pan and roast 15-20 minutes or until tender.  Don't overcook.  Turn down the oven to 350 degrees.
• With a mixer combine the cream cheese, mozzarella, greek yogurt, and hot sauce together.  Once smooth carefully fold in the green onion, crumbled blue cheese and roasted cauliflower by hand.
• Put the mixture in the casserole dish.  Bake for 25-30 minutes or until melted.  You can pop on the broiler at the end to get the golden color.
• Garnish with extra green onion and blue cheese.  Serve with chips, celery, and carrots.

Notes

* Make your florets small enough to easily pick up on chips.

** Adjust the amount of hot sauce to how spicy you want the dish.  I tested with 3/4 cup hot sauce which had a nice kick but not too much!  You can add as little as 1/4 cup or as much as 1 cup.
