Why this Chipotle Carrot Dip is great for Whole30
This carrot dip is a lot like hummus, in that it’s thick and creamy without the use of beans! This dip is great for dipping veggies in, adding to roasted veggies and protein, or for using as a topping on salads or sweet potato toast! The bonus is that this dip is packed with veggies and will fill you up!
Carrots are also very inexpensive and they add a fun contrast to the smoky, spicy kick from the chipotle powder.
This dip doubles as a simple, healthy, flavorful sauce as well! I added it to roasted brussels sprouts and canned salmon for an amazing lunch! So I highly advise you to make double or triple the amount in the recipe below if you plan on sharing this paleo chipotle carrot dip with anyone, it goes so fast! Lucky for me, Dave doesn’t like anything spicy, so I don’t have to worry about sharing!
