Good Dip Recipes??

[kcfan99]

I want to make some dips this weekend while watching football. I really want a mexican one or the bacon and swiss dip. I have been on atkins for 3 weeks and did lose 6 and then gained one back. My goal is 10. I have been doing induction pretty much the whole time with the expection of this week having tortilla chips. So what are some good recipes that won't totally blow my weight loss? Thanks!

There's a great Crab dip recipe in Dana Carpender's '500 low carb recipes' book. [Which is an excellent low carb cookbook overall!]

I made one this week that might be dangerous. Take some salsa verde (the green salsa, make sure it's legal), put some sour cream and shredded cheddar cheese in, nuke it until it's all melty, and then dip celery in it. OMG, so good!

I'm looking for lower sodium salsa verde, as I was a bit bloaty the next day, although down a pound. ???

Here's a salsa I highly recommend to go with the flax crackers in the STAC forum recipe thread:

Dang. Lost the recipe card. brb

CHECK fitday for the carb and cal amounts. I have no clue what it is per serving yet. It also doesn't store that well, so make either a smaller batch or be prepared to share with a lot of people.

From BHG magazine:

Avacado-feta salsa

2 plum tomatoes, chopped
1 avocado, halved, seeded, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
1 clove garlic, minced
1 Tbsp snipped fresh parlsey
1 Tbsp chopped fresh oregano
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp white (wine) vinegar
4 oz feta cheese, coarsely crumbled

1. In med. bowl combine tomatoes, avocado, onion, garlic, parsley, oregano, oil and vinegar. Stir gently to mix. Gently stir in Feta cheese. Cover and chill for 2-6 hours. Serve with flax crackers. Makes 12- 1/4 cup servings.
