Alternate Ingredients:
- Try using a parmesan-romano cheese mix or another cheese blend.
- Use Greek yogurt, fat free plain yogurt, or low fat mayonnaise in place of full fat mayo.
- Substitute light cream cheese for full fat.
- Add in extra garlic powder or onion powder for stronger flavors.
- Fresh spinach can be substituted for frozen, but you may want to wilt it down and chop it up.
- Chop up some water chestnuts, green onions, or bell peppers.
Tips and Tricks:
- If you want to offer more than the classic tortilla chips for dipping, try crackers, pita chips, pita bread, or French bread. You could also offer veggies, like carrot sticks, celery, and cucumber.
- For all the keto folks at your next gathering, offer cheese whisps or celery sticks with this tasty appetizer.
- Store any leftover dip in the fridge, in an airtight container or covered snuggly with plastic wrap.
