Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Cook Time: 15 Minutes
Total Time: 20 Minutes
Servings: 8
The baked ricotta dip is a keto dip that only takes 20 minutes to prepare and has a lovely blend. Ricotta is sweeter compared to other cheeses, so it complements the saltiness of the bacon well. You may serve it with keto crackers, toasted baguette slices, or anything else you choose; the most important thing is to enjoy every dip, and you can double it with no shame.
Ingredients
1/2 C Parmesan
1/2 tsp Salt, optional
16 oz Ricotta
2 Tbsp Olive Oil
3 slices cooked bacon (chopped and divided)
4 cloves Garlic
Directions
Start by heating the oven to 425ºF/220ºc. In a safe baking dish, mix all of the ingredients except the bacon. Pop it in the oven for 15-20 minutes or until the dip is heated through and everything is melted.
When you take the delicious dip out of the oven, sprinkle it with bacon and serve it with low-calorie crackers or toasted baguettes.
Blue Cheese and Roasted Pecan Dip Recipe
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Total Time: 10 Minutes
Servings: 8
For all the cheese lovers, you will love this keto dip so much. The blue cheese and roasted pecan dip is an excellent addition to an appetiser buffet, picnic, or even a cocktail party. Thanks to its creamy texture from the cheese mixes and the pecans’ crunchiness, this dip could become a regular in your weekly diet if you are a big cheese fan.
Ingredients
1/2 cup (3 oz) blue cheese
1/2 cup (4 oz) cream cheese
1/3 cup (1.5 oz) pecans
3 Tablespoons sour cream (use less if you want less of a “dip” and more of a spread)
Directions
Begin by toasting the nuts in a medium saucepan until they are a beautiful light golden colour.
Get out your food processor because we’ll use it for this step. Blend cream cheese and blue cheese in a food processor until smooth, then add sour cream 1 Tablespoon at a time until all mixed well together.
Mix the toasted pecans into the cheese mixture in a ramekin and leave it to chill for one hour.
After one hour, serve with crackers, bread, or fresh veggies and make sure it’s low in calories.
Smoked Salmon Dip Recipe
httpss://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hhQPH8BI0tg
Prep Time: 5 Minutes
Total Time: 5 Minutes
Servings: 20
This a simple 10-ingredient keto dip recipe that is ideal if you are craving salmon. In our humble opinion, the smoked Salmon dip is one of the best dips since it has a creamy texture and a flavour that is so captivating that we had to include it on our list. This dip is slightly salty due to the use of salty capers, horseradish, and lemon zest, all of which combine to make a masterpiece of a dip.
A little tip: use less salt in this dip because the smoked salmon and capers are both highly salty, so adding salt will make your dip too salty.
Ingredients
1 1/2 tablespoons rinsed and drained capers
1 tablespoon fresh chopped dill
1 tablespoon lemon zest
1 tablespoon prepared horseradish
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1/4 – 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
6 ounces skin-removed smoked salmon
8 ounces cream cheese
Directions
In the food processor, add the following components according to the measurements: sour cream, cream cheese, dill, lemon zest, horseradish, crushed red pepper, and paprika. Puree it until smooth, then transfer it to a bowl with a rubber spatula.
Here’s a trick, depending on how thick you want your dip to be: If you want a thicker dip, add 1/2 cup sour cream. If you want it spreadable, use 3/4 cup sour cream; if you want it more loose, use 3/4 cup sour cream.
The next step is for you to decide how thick you want your dip to be by mixing it until it reaches the desired consistency. Blend the smoked salmon, green onions, and capers in a food processor. Cover and pulse until the salmon is chopped into small pieces and evenly distributed.
Refrigerate for at least one hour before serving, and serve alongside keto bread.

Prep Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Serves: 10
For all the avocado lovers out there, please unite because this keto guacamole dip will be your go-to for many reasons. First, it’s low carb, and second, it’s full of flavour thanks to the perfect balance of creaminess of the sour cream and avocado and chunkiness of the onions and tomatoes. Third, it goes great with low-carb nachos. We all know that no dipping table isn’t complete without guac dip; therefore, it is undoubtedly one of the best dips.
A small tip: The longer you whisk the guacamole, the creamier and smoother it will become. If you want a chunkier texture, stir a little at a time.
Ingredients
1 clove garlic
1 lime
1 Roma tomato
1 teaspoon cumin
1/2 jalapeno pepper
1/2 red onion
1/4 cup cilantro
2 tablespoons sour cream
4 large avocados
Salt
Directions
Let’s start with the avocado. Cut the avocados in half and carefully remove the seed. Scoop into a mixing bowl with a spoon. Mash the avocado to the desired consistency.
Then add the sour cream, diced tomato and onion. After that, mince the garlic, jalapeño, and cilantro. Mix everything into the avocado dish.
To add a zesty flavour, cut the lime in half and squeeze one half into the dish. Drizzle with cumin and salt and toss to mix.
Taste it before serving to determine if it needs more guac, jalapeno, salt, or lime juice. When done, serve with cucumbers, mini sweet peppers, or low-carb tortilla chips.

Do you ever eat something, and there’s this one ingredient that adds a wonderful kick to the dish? This is quite similar to the Keto Hot Spinach Dip in that it includes creamy cheese with a kick of spinach that will blow your taste senses away. This simple dip is not only tasty, but it also fits perfectly with your keto diet.
A little tip: Want to make this dip ten times better? For an added savoury kick, add some cooked, crumbled bacon to the mixture before baking. Add some diced jalapenos or red pepper flakes to the mixture if you favour spicy foods.
You don’t have to stick to the cheese in the recipe; experiment with parmesan or mozzarella, and feel free to use other varieties of cheese in this dip. Gouda, cheddar, or even blue cheese would be excellent choices.

Keto Cauliflower Hummus Dip Recipe
httpss://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o64L6ysoV2k
Prep Time: 10 Minutes
Cook Time: 20 Minutes
Total Time: 30 Minutes
Servings: 8
A keto dip recipe that is a substitute for humus, and we will be using cauliflower again, but in another way this time. This dip is entirely dairy-free and vegan-friendly! It’s rich in nutrients and creamy. Totally yum!
A little tip: You can make this dip vegan by substituting oil for the bone broth; simply add extra oil. Begin by adding an extra spoonful at a time.
For the lemon juice, use fresh lemons for a greater flavour because bottled lemon juice might leave an unpleasant aftertaste in this dish, which you obviously don’t want.
Ingredients
1 large head of cauliflower chopped into florets
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup creamy tahini
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/4 cup bone broth
2 garlic cloves
2 tablespoons avocado oil or extra virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons lemon juice freshly squeezed
3-4 tablespoons avocado oil
Direction
To begin, preheat the oven to 400 F/170 Celsius degree. Set the oven rack to the centre position. Set aside a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
In a large mixing basin, combine cauliflower florets with 2 tablespoons of oil, making sure the cauliflower is fully covered. Then, evenly distribute it on the baking sheet, taking care not to overlap. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook until the edges start to turn brown. Remove from the oven and set aside to cool.
Next, we’ll put the garlic cloves in the food processor. Pulse a few times until the cloves are minced. Add the room-temperature cauliflower florets, tahini, spices, and bone broth. Pulse for 1 minute on high or until the florets are well pulverised and the mixture is thick and clumpy.
Set the food processor to high speed while leaving the lid open. Slowly and steadily drizzle in the oil, a teaspoon at a time. Switch the food processor to low and add the lemon juice once everything is incorporated. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Hummus should be creamy and rich. Add another tablespoon of oil if it becomes too grained or dry. You can thin it out with a tablespoon or two of water.
Refrigerate in a tightly sealed container. If you use frozen bone broth, it will keep for up to 3 days. Otherwise, it will last around a week!
