There is no wrong way to consume this immune boosting dip! Use it for veggies, gluten free crackers or a deconstructed salad, spread for sandwiches/wraps or dollap on fresh grilled veggies or fish.
The union of Garlic and Avocado oil makes for a rich and flavorful dip that you will feel good about eating. The garlic chips are such a fun addition in flavor depth and texture. If you love garlic as much as I do then I know we are going to become great foodie friends!

Notes
- When using a dairy free substitute for yogurt and cream cheese go for a mild tasting version. Coconut versions can have a strong flavor depending on the brand.
- Try to buy organic when you can.
- If you allergic to Avocado oil sub out for Organic refined coconut oil, this version won’t have the coconut “taste”.
