Notes

  1. Riced cauliflower: Use a food processor or box grater to make your own cauliflower rice. To do it by hand, use the largest holes on a box grater to shred the vegetable into tiny pieces. To use a food processor, simply cut the cauliflower into pieces and pulse the vegetable until evenly minced. Or buy a 16-ounce bag of cauliflower rice in the produce section.
  2. Hot sauce: Frank's RedHot is classic Buffalo wing sauce; I wouldn't use anything else. But you can try your favorite hot sauce if you have one.
  3. Ranch Dressing or Blue Cheese DressingFor traditional Buffalo Dip, this recipe must be made with blue cheese dressing. However, if you don't like blue cheese and do want to channel your inner Midwesterner, ranch is delicious, too. 
  4. Yield: A single batch of this Buffalo Cauliflower Dip will feed about 16 for a snack or appetizer. Half or double the recipe as desired to fit your crowd.
  5. Storage: Transfer any extra Buffalo Cauliflower Dip to an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 4 days.
