Keto Vegetable Dip. It’s been a wild ride getting this into a recipe and here’s the story. I first made it just messing around in the kitchen but I liked it so much I made it again and knew it was a winner. Soooo first, as I made it several times I ran out of my frozen 3.5% Darigold Bulgarian Buttermilk cubes and needed to buy more. The grocery store where I had always gotten it was no longer carrying it. Ugh. OK and then, my computer had a rather large problem which took me about 3 weeks to finally get fixed. Lucky for me I have a dear friend who also happened to work for NASA as yes, a NASA scientist who fixed it quite handily. He works on the cheap for…guess what…FOOD. Meanwhile, I can’t find my old buttermilk anywhere. What to do? I PUNTED. I bought some dried buttermilk powder as seen in the picture above and began using that. Good grief, if you don’t have this stuff you should. At least for me it is kind of a miracle product and now I will use it for lots of stuff. My opinion: this keto vegetable dip will be the best thing you have tasted with…vegetables.
