08 Nov Ultimate 7 – Layer Dip | Vegan & Vegetarian

Who doesn’t love a good dip?  It is what everybody hovers around at any party, tailgate or picnic.  So I thought, let’s put the #ChangeYourBuds + The Cooking Doc spin on the dip!  Both of these are delicious and with fresh veggies, homemade pico de gallo (Check out my homemade version HERE!) these are extra delicious.

Notes

Used 6 tortilla chips in nutrition analysis

For a lower carbohydrate and more diabetic friendly version, only eat 1/4 cup dip with 3 (that's right 3!) chips. Or substitute celery, carrot, cucumbers or radishes for the chips.

For a lower potassium modification, omit avocado. Substitute tomatillo salsa for red salsa. Swap roasted red bell pepper for tomato in pico de gallo. Dish will still be medium potassium, not low potassium.
