Baked Buffalo Cauliflower Dip includes easy ingredients and easy steps. Pureed cauliflower baked into a cheesy, creamy buffalo dip. You'll be surprised when you can't stop dipping!There doesn't seem to be much desired when talking about cauliflower.  I love it roasted and lightly salted, or slathered with melted cheese.  But, it still is pretty overlooked when  talking about favorite vegetables.

Let me help you change your perspective.  Lately, I've seen recipes pop up all over the place with cauliflower as the star ingredient.  It is used in such creative ways, from mashed "potatoes", to faux buffalo wings (seriously!). Now I'm finding it as a dip!

This cauliflower dip I found on The Daily Meal, created by Heather Christo, was one of the two recipes I contributed to last month's Pinterest Party.  (This Snickers Cake was the other.)  Not knowing what to expect, I ended up LOVING the dip and will make it again for the football season.

I did make quite a few changes, though.  I hate/loathe/despise goat cheese, so omitted it altogether.  Instead of shredded Monterey Jack cheese, I used shredded Mexican flavored cheese that was already in my fridge.  More cayenne pepper was needed, and next time I make it I'm adding some hot sauce (indicated in my version below).  This dip serves well with vegetables, crackers, chips or pretzels.  At the party, I served it with sweet peppers, grape tomatoes, Ritz crackers and Cheddar Chipotle Pretzel Crisps.
