| Vegan Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip |
Buffalo wings are definitely something that vegans can't have, but this recipe gives you that same great taste. What makes this recipe different, other than not having meat and dairy is that this has all the great flavors of Buffalo Chicken Wings without all the fat and cholesterol of the chicken skin and oil. Not going to say that it is terribly healthy but its far less in calories than its meaty counterpart. Enjoy!
Vegan Buffalo Chicken Wing Dip

-2 (8 ounce) vegan Cream Cheese containers, room temperature (your favorite brand)

-1 Container Beyond Meat or Morningstar Vegan Chicken Strips (lightly seasoned), chopped into chunks
-1 cup crumbled vegan blue cheese or daiya (your favorite flavor), add both if you want

Directions
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
In a medium saucepan over moderate heat, melt the cream cheese until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the celery, hot sauce, chicken, cheese, and ranch. Mix well and then transfer the mixture to a 9-inch pie plate or small casserole pan. Bake until hot and bubbly, about 25 minutes. Remove and cool until ready to serve. Enjoy!
Serve with crackers, bread and/or veggies (cherry tomatoes, carrots and celery sticks), or Chips. (My personal favorite Lentil Chips).
