My family loves hot sauce and buffalo sauce. At most restaurants, Sterling will order wings if they have them on the menu. We have a recipe for spicy cauliflower tacos we love and I decided to take a different spin on it and make a Buffalo Cauliflower Salad. Healthier than wings yet you still get that good buffalo flavor and heat. Also, it gets my kids to eat a veggie, so a win. I will say the adults ate this salad and I saved extra Buffalo Cauliflower for the kids and they had that as a side. Much to my dismay, my kids don’t love a salad unlike their mom, it’s one of my favorite meals! This recipe is super easy and packed with flavor. You can serve this with ranch or blue cheese. We lightly drizzled ours with blue cheese yet I found it really didn’t need a lot of dressing. I also drizzled extra buffalo sauce because I love it!
Also if you want a rec for the best buffalo sauce ever, try the Noble Made Buffalo Sauce. We have tried lots and it is our favorite!! Locally they carry this at Harris Teeter and Whole Foods, Amazon also sells it.
