Notes
No coconut oil? No problem. Feel free to use extra-virgin olive oil, avocado oil, or whichever oil you prefer.
Make sure to use sturdy chips for hearty dips like this one as thinner chips will break more easily. I recommend the tasty organic Green Mountain Gringo blue corn tortilla chips that I found at my local health food store. They are certified 100% gluten free.
Following a low-carb way of eating? No problem. Dig in with celery sticks, slices of bell peppers, my crispy cheese crisps, or bake some pepperoni slices until they're crispy so they'll be sturdy enough for dipping in. Yum.
