The Super Bowl may have come and gone, but you can now enjoy the delicious taste of Buffalo dip year-round with the launch of Trader Joe's new Vegan Buffalo Style Dip.
For those unfamiliar, Buffalo Dip is a classic game-day snack that is usually made with blue cheese, hot sauce, and a creamy base like sour cream or ranch dressing. While delicious, the snack has never been all that accessible for vegans and dairy-free consumers – until now. Trader Joe’s new Vegan Buffalo Style Dip takes the classic recipe and infuses it with vegetables, like cauliflower, red peppers, and carrots. This veggie-rich base is then kicked up a notch with that classic Buffalo, cayenne kick. The whole thing is then finished with a bit of lime juice for a creamy, dairy-free mixture.
