A healthy version of the popular game day appetizer recipe, these buffalo cauliflower bites with blue cheese dressing are packed with flavor, gluten free, low carb and low in calories.

Is there anything better in life than appetizers? They’re my favorite dish to order in a restaurant, the first thing I crave when I attend a party and one of my favorite courses to prepare when I’m hosting friends.
As you’re probably well aware, there is a big game coming up where a bunch of tough dudes toss around a football. We aren’t much of a sports family but I love any excuse to entertain friends, eat delicious appetizers and watch some of the best commercials of the year. (In fact, I spotted Budweiser filming their game day commercial during my visit to New Orleans earlier this month!)

This particular appetizer recipe is dedicated to my dear friend Kristin who loves any and all things buffalo. And who can blame her? Tart, tangy and mildly spicy, buffalo sauce is loaded in flavor.

To keep it healthier, I decided to swap out deep fried chicken wings for oven roasted caramelized cauliflower. Paired with my creamy blue cheese dressing made with yogurt instead of mayo, it is truly a match made in heaven. I promise you won’t miss any of the missing fat and calories.
No forks required.
