There are so many low carb pizza crust alternatives out there, but why not remove the crust altogether, and turn it into a dip? The key to keeping this dip low carb is the tomato sauce – you could also use pasta sauce but they often contains high amounts of sugar. Why not try these low carb/sugar free options from Bella Vita or Hunt's? Or you could make your own. 😉
How to Make a Low Carb Pizza Dip
Spread cream cheese over the base of an oven-proof dish.
Mix together the canned tomato sauce with the herbs. Pour it over the cream cheese.
Sprinkle with shredded cheese (mozzarella is perfect).
Broil until melted and bubbly. Some fresh basil leaves make a nice garnish!
Easy, right??! There's something about how the tomato and cream cheese blend into each other that is fantastically addictive! Oh, and I have also tried making this in the microwave but found it does have a tendency to spit and make a huge mess of the microwave!
To serve the pizza dip, here are some ideas:
- Celery sticks
- Flaxseed crackers
- Cucumber sticks
- Pepperoni chips
- Baby romaine lettuce leaves
- Homemade tortilla chips
- Vegetable chips
- Low carb corn chips from Netrition – as shown in these photos – I’m afraid they’re not gluten free, though
