Make Your Own Mayonnaise
I like to make my own mayonnaise to use in this recipe. Simply follow this recipe for Low Carb Sugar Free mayonnaise. You will have some fresh, no fail, delicious tasting mayonnaise in just a few minutes. Basically all that you need is a stick blender, an egg, some light tasting EVOO- extra virgin olive oil, and some seasonings such as Dijon mustard, lemon juice or vinegar, and salt and pepper. Make sure you use a really light tasting oil in this recipe to avoid too much oil flavor.
If you like the sound of this dip you might be interested in this recipe for Spinach and Artichoke Dip or this delicious recipe for Low Carb Artichoke Dip. As with this Low Carb Cream Spinach Dip recipe, these other dip recipes are all low carb, sugar free recipes.
I hope you enjoy this recipe.

- You can serve this cold but make sure all of the cheese has been blended through by heating it up initially.
