Just about any dip you can find is low carb, it’s the crackers and chips they’re usually served with that makes them high carb. Use a crisp veggie instead, and it’s instant health food! ? But skip the usual, boring carrots and celery on a plate; think jicama, bell pepper strips, ribs from hearts-of-romaine. And to make them even more appealing, place them in vertical glass containers, like the beautiful table shown here, from Sugar Plum Sisters.
Here’s one dip idea…
Garlic-Herb Cheese Spread or Dip, also from this site. Tastes sort of like Allouette. Again, to keep it low carb, serve with veggie dippers. (Contains dairy.)
. . .
I also LOVE this Paleo dairy-free Ranch dressing, aka Dump Ranch! Make it without the coconut milk for a thicker dip.
Zucchini/squash Pizza Bites, from yours truly. The “crust” couldn’t be simpler: it’s just slices of summer squash or zucchini, lightly baked before being topped with your favorite pizza stuff, and broiled. (Inspired by Kalyn’s Kitchen.) Shown here in both pepperoni and vegetarian versions. (Cheese contains dairy, but you could omit it or sub something else.)
. . .
Deviled Eggs. Did you know that deviled eggs from the grocery store sometimes contain sugar? Yuck! Much safer (and Paleo-friendly) to make your own. I like ’em simple and classic, like this take from SimplyRecipes. Or try this twist…
Avocado Deviled Eggs with Bacon from Caveman Gourmet. I’ve made these — YUM!
. . .
Summer Squash (or Zucchini) Topped with Sausage and Cheese from yours truly! These can be mostly-made ahead, then baked or reheated at the last minute. (Contains dairy.)
