Vegan Buffalo Chicken Dip

Well, Super Bowl Sunday is almost here! To be honest, the only reason I care is because it presents another excuse to make some good food. But my partner Scott loves watching the big game every year. This year I wanted to try something different so I came up with a vegan buffalo chicken dip.

Normally for my vegan Super Bowl spread I make buffalo tofu bites, spinach artichoke dip, and/or 7 layer dip. It just seems like a good day for dips, I guess!

I made a post on Facebook asking people what they love to snack on during the game and after reading the comments, I realized that a popular choice for people at Super Bowl parties everywhere is buffalo chicken dip! So of course, I really wanted to try to make a vegan buffalo chicken dip!

This dip is rich, creamy, cheesy, with a little spicy kick! Keep some celery and ranch nearby! You can use whichever vegan faux chicken you like, but I went with Gardein this time. I also used Follow Your Heart mozzarella shreds, Violife cream cheese, and Tofutti sour cream. You may use other brands! I would imagine Tofutti cream cheese would do well too. Choose your favorite!

The recipe was modified from this one on Food Network’s website.
