Notes
4.6 grams net carbs for one serving which is one kabob
- I've made this twice, once with Queso fresco and once with feta. The feta crumbled easier when skewering them. I preferred the milder taste of the Queso fresco. I found mine at Aldi's believe it or not!
- You don't have to make the dip sweet you can eliminate the stevia if you like or use a liquid stevia, possibly lemon flavored would work well here. You could also use honey or another sweetener of choice.
