  • ½ cup cabbage, sliced thinly
  • ⅓ cup shredded carrots
  • ¼ cup red onions, sliced thinly
Ranch
  • ½ cup vegan mayonnaise, such as Hampton Creek
  • ½ cup vegan sour cream, such as Tofutti
  • ½ cup non-dairy milk, original and unsweetened
  • 1 tsp fresh dill, minced
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp white vinegar
  • Pink Himalayan sea salt, to taste
  • Fresh ground black pepper, to taste
Tacos
  • 2½ cups cauliflower, cut into bite size pieces
  • ½ cup whole wheat flour
  • ½ cup water
  • 2 cups panko bread crumbs
  • 1 cups favorite hot sauce (we used Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Sauce)
  • Chives, for garnishing
Instructions
Celery Slaw
  1. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl. Cover and set aside.
Ranch
  1. Pulse all the ingredients, except salt and pepper, in a blender until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and set aside.
Tacos
  1. Set up your dredging station. In one bowl, mix together the flour and water until it reaches a pancake-like batter consistency. In another bowl, add panko bread crumbs.
  2. Dip cauliflower pieces first in the flour-water batter, tapping excess batter off the cauliflower pieces, then coat with panko bread crumbs. Repeat this process until each piece is coated.
  3. On medium high heat, fry cauliflower until golden and crispy, about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Transfer to a paper towel lined plate to cool for about 5 minutes. Toss fried cauliflower pieces in hot sauce and begin building your tacos.
  5. Add about 1-2 tablespoons of slaw, 2-3 pieces of buffalo cauliflower, then drizzle with ranch. Garnish with minced chives. ENJOY!!!
