I have a confession to make….I dislike blue cheese. I know. It’s a classic staple with buffalo chicken. But guess what? I LOOOOVE ranch dressing and the combo with the buffalo sauce is amazing. I have been using THIS tasty vegan ranch dressing for years and it’s absolutely delicious.

I love simple and easy and these buffalo meatballs fit the bill. Plus, I bake them so it requires very little attention to keep this dish less fussy. The combo of the buffalo chicken meatballs and the crunchy ranch salad really brings this dish together.
