This luxury Basil and Pine Nut Avocado Dip is a wonderful keto alternative to hummus. Pairs well with grain free crackers like these Keto Rosemary & Onion Crackers, as a dip for raw crudités, tossed through a crunchy salad or my favourite, smothered over scrambled eggs. The toasted pine nuts add a real buttery depth of flavour that will keep you coming back for more!

Food is one of life’s most powerful medicines. I’m a true testament that once you find the right approach for you, you can overcome poor health through the healing power of food.

I believe the secret to radiant health starts and ends with a healthy gut so my recipes are all grain, gluten and refined sugar free. Most are also dairy-free.
