Why you’ll love this keto-friendly recipe


This Keto Blue Cheese Dip makes the best party appetizer, offering bold and aromatic flavors that your family or guests will love.


The recipe takes just five minutes to prepare, making it an excellent option for last-minute gatherings or a quick, on-the-go treat.


What’s more, you can easily customize this dip by adding fresh herbs and a splash of fresh lemon juice for a tangy twist. 


If you don't enjoy blue cheese, simply replace it with Greek yogurt, full-fat cottage cheese, or feta for a milder flavor.


In addition to its delicious taste, the health benefits of this dip make it even more appealing. 


Organic blue cheese is a rich source of calcium and contains probiotic bacteria, while sour cream and mayonnaise provide plenty of healthy fats that help you stay in fat-burning mode.


Garlic powder not only adds a savory kick but also offers antimicrobial and immune-boosting properties.


Furthermore, research published in Antioxidants found that garlic has shown therapeutic potential in reducing the risk of cancer, cardiovascular issues, metabolic disorders, high blood pressure, and diabetes.


"The protective effects of garlic are attributed to its potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and lipid-lowering properties, which work together to promote overall health and can reduce the risk of chronic diseases," explains Dr. Berg.


You'll fall in love with this dip not just for its flavor but for its incredible versatility. Pair it with crunchy celery sticks, savory chicken wings, or your favorite low-carb crackers for an unbeatable combo.

Storing tips


Whether you have leftovers or want to prepare the dip ahead of time, it's important to store it properly.


You can place it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week or freeze it for up to three months.


When ready to eat, give the dip a quick stir to revive its silky texture, as it may thicken when chilled. For best results, serve it at room temperature or slightly warmed.


Frozen dip can be thawed in the refrigerator overnight. However, to prevent foodborne illness, it should be consumed within 24 hours of thawing.


For an appealing presentation, garnish with freshly ground black pepper and fresh herbs, or sprinkle extra crumbled blue cheese and crushed walnuts on top before serving.
