A good paleo vegetable dip recipe has so many uses. You can pair it with veggies, crackers, or chips for the holidays, dinner parties, work events, tailgating, or for family dinners or movie time.
This paleo garlic and herb dip is my go-to for all of those occasions. It’s creamy, easy to make, and kid-friendly. In fact, my two year old loves to pair this “dib” with just about anything she’s eating. Including vegetables. It’s actually the only time I can really get her to eat them!
This garlic and herb dip recipe is low carb, paleo, Whole30, and dairy-free, which makes it great for those with allergies or sensitivities.
My favorite way to make this low carb garlic and herb dip is with homemade dairy-free cream cheese (as instructed below). It gives it a wonderful richness and creaminess. If you’re short on time or cashews, you can also use store-bought dairy-free cream cheese in this recipe and get a similar result.
Feel free to adjust the herbs in the dip as needed. While this recipe keeps it simple (that’s my style!), you can definitely give it an additional kick with some finely chopped fresh basil or parsley.
