KETO SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP
No appetizer buffet is complete without some type of spinach dip. Some are hot, some cold. I like them all! After all, they are full of spinach and therefore should count as a serving of vegetables, right? Yes.
I made a cooked version and kept the carbs low to make it keto spinach artichoke dip. But all your guests will enjoy it, I promise. 😀

WHAT MAKES THIS SPINACH ARTICHOKE DIP KETO?
Most spinach dips are based on cream cheese, mayo and/or sour cream. As long as you stick with the full-fat versions, you will produce a keto-friendly dip.
What I like about this recipe is it uses no soup or salad dressing seasoning packet. When you read the labels on those items, you find they contain a surprising number of hidden carbs. By eliminating the use of these mixes, you avoid all the added sugars and unpronounceable ingredients.
