Week 4: Meals to Impress, Cauliflower Buffalo Wings!

This recipe from Lauren Toyota is not super healthy however it is MUCH healthier than the chicken based alternative and I guarantee it will impress your loved ones!

I've eaten A LOT of Cauliflower Buffalo Wings at vegan restaurants and this version Lauren shares is at least as good.

Where can I lower the fat? In the below recipe, I actually ditched the Ranch dip. I'm lazy and it was too much effort! However, if you want it, I would recommend using 1/3-1/2 of the vegan mayo and substituting with silken tofu instead.
Where can I increase the protein? That tofu swap increases the protein. You can also swap the all-purpose flour for chickpea flour. When I have a low protein dish I make sure the stuff I share along side it are higher protein. So for nibbles here I might choose crispy chickpeas and edamame guac with sweet potato chips.
How can make it simpler / faster? No ranch dip made this much simpler! Or of course you can buy your dip and to make it healthier you can still dilute it with silken tofu.
