    ‘Tis the season for low carb dips and keto appetizers

    If you’ve never had pimento cheese, let me be the first to welcome you to the creamy, savory, cheesy, flavor-packed deliciousness that is the southern cousin of pub cheese. Cream cheese, shredded cheddar AND sharp cheddar, mayo, pimento peppers, Dijon, sweet paprika, cayenne, garlic, and onion powder -- pimento cheese dip is the ultimate keto dip.

    You can serve it hot or cold, as a dip, a spread, or even sandwiched between two slices of toasted low carb bread. Pimento cheese is delicious, any time of year, and it comes together so quickly for an easy crowd pleaser.

    All of the ingredients to make Pimento Cheese Dip: shredded cheddar, shredded sharp cheddar, cream cheese, mayonnaise, cayenne, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, Dijon mustard, and chopped pimento peppers.

    Low carb cheese and crackers?!

    What’s a deliciously cheesy keto dip without low carb crackers? And not just any crackers, either. I’ve got 2 gluten free cracker recipes for you that take this dip to the next level. Choose from Rosemary and Thyme Keto Crackers or Parmesan Chive and Garlic Keto Crackers.

    Want more options? While these flavor combinations are absolutely delicious, you could also try using these keto cracker recipes as a base for a custom cracker creation. Double or triple the recipe and try dipping the different flavor combos below as a compliment to this pimento cheese dip recipe:

    • Sea salt and black pepper
    • Ginger and turmeric
    • Chili lime and cumin

    What else goes great with keto cheese dip and crackers? A keto charcuterie board!

    The best part of pimento cheese is that it works with so many different dippers. I could see this pimento cheese dip recipe as the center of an epic keto charcuterie board. Low carb crackers, pimento cheese dip, nuts, berries, olives, pickled veggies, prosciutto, salami … the possibilities are endless.

      So, I'm wondering if it was an error to list cheddar cheese twice in this recipe. I'm eager to give it a whirl, because I have lived my life thinking I don't like pimentos and have been teased (rather mercilessly) by my southern friends for whom pimento cheese is a staple. Please help. Many thanks!
