This fresh, herb-flavored egg dip is creamy enough to scoop up with your favorite veggie strips but with just enough of a bite to keep it interesting.
It’s great for an afternoon snack, with plenty of healthy fat and protein to help tide you over until dinnertime – so much better than a handful of crackers or popcorn that would just leave you hungry again in half an hour.
It’s also perfect as an after-school snack for kids (not to mention a sneaky way to get them to eat a few vegetables!).
You could always serve this dip with your favorite recipe for Paleo crackers, but an even simpler and easier alternative is to just use some dipping vegetables. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
- Pepper strips (any color)
- Carrots (just chop up the big ones; it’s cheaper than buying baby carrots)
- Broccoli or cauliflower
- Celery sticks
- Cherry tomatoes (with a fork or toothpicks)
- Cucumber slices
…or anything else you can think of! It’s amazing how many dipping options people don’t consider until they’re forced to look beyond crackers. If you’re feeding a crowd, just set out an assortment of different vegetables and watch them (and the dip) disappear!
