Chunky Blue Cheese
Ingredients
1/2 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup blue cheese crumbles
1 tablespoon unsweetened almond milk
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
Directions
Stir together all ingredients. For best flavor, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. Store refrigerated for up to 1 week.
Mona’s Tips: This can also be made in the oven by baking at 450°F for 10 minutes, just until cauliflower begins to brown.
Ingredient Insider: Look for buffalo sauce that has 0g of fat. Some brands are more like high-fat dressings than hot sauce. For more heat, toss the cooked cauliflower in more buffalo sauce as soon as you remove it from the air fryer.
