This Creamy Paleo Vegetable Dip is my favorite way to snack on raw veggies. (Second only, perhaps, to my Asian Spring Rolls with citrus dipping sauce)
Summer days call for cooling foods, I can’t think of anything more refreshing or more nostalgic than sliced cucumber and carrot sticks with dip. Gosh! If you really want to romance me, throw in a few just-picked sun-ripened cherry tomatoes, any kind of fresh colored pepper, and maybe some fennel or asparagus tips. Want to slam-dunk-win-my-heart? Bring me some fresh veggies straight from the garden. Lord help me!
In my opinion the best dips should lift you up, not weigh you down. Which is one of the reasons I LOVE this Creamy Paleo Vegetable Dip! I also love how the base recipe is the same, but you can change it depending on what’s in season or what you have on hand for tons of variety year-round, and you can make lots of it for all season and just save it for later, use a vacuum sealer or ziplocs so your can storage the dip well and it conserves.
Creamy Paleo Vegetable Dip: The Players
½ cup paleo mayo (get my recipe for Homemade Paleo Mayonnaise)
⅓ cup full-fat canned coconut milk (where to buy coconut milk)

Notes about ingredients
If you want to mix it up and add a bit more protein, try adding in an anchovies fillet (where to buy anchovies fillet)!

Looks delish…any suggestions for substitutes for the paleo mayo to make it eggless?
