Incredible Vegan Buffalo ‘Chicken’ Dip (Healthy)

Vegan Buffalo ‘Chicken’ Dip! Delicious creamy cheesy vegan alternative to real buffalo dip made meatless and dairy free! Everyone will love this easy plant based version. Perfect game day Super Bowl Sunday party food recipe! Healthy.

So my latest creation Vegan Buffalo Chicken Dip! Taste like chicken buffalo wings but in tasty dip form! made with franks red hot buffalo sauce. This recipe is so simple to make- and requires no ranch dressing or cream cheese! 

15 minutes prep time and it’s baking in the oven to spicy cheesy goodess Vegetarians and carnivores will totally dig in! Yes even without real cheese and meat- The taste is right on target!

I replaced the shredded chicken with seitan rather than tofu, jackfruit, cauliflower, chickpeas or beans. I like the chewy texture the mock meat adds!

This buffalo dip will get devoured trust me and it feeds a crowd. I like to serve with carrots and lots of celery sticks, tortilla chips or sliced baguette 

Ingredients needed:

It’s crazy how simple this recipe is!

• Raw cashews: adds a creamy texture without needing ranch dressing or cream cheese!
• Vegan chicken pieces: I used Tofurky lightly seasoned chick’n for chewy texture. I am sure Gardein would be great too or use your favourite homemade seitan recipe!
• Franks red hot buffalo wing sauce: for that spicy heat
• Vegan mozzarella cheese: lovely cheese element I like violife or my recipe if I have some is made. I don't recommend using ‘cheddar’ can sub nutritional yeast for healthier option
• Spices: dried dill, granulated garlic and onion (powder)
• Pickle juice: adds a unique tang you’ll love it!
