My Savoury Low Sodium Sour Cream Nacho Dip #GayLeaMom #Giveaway

In the summer months when the weather is hot and the days are gorgeous but limited, it’s important not to spend hours on end slaving at the stove. I love easy barbecue ideas every summer weekend, and if we are entertaining or having a pool party or even just having a lovely weekend together, I like fast tasty snacks like this savoury sour cream nacho dip. This dip would also go great with vegetables.

I confess my husband and I have this dip that’s made a nearby grocery store that is our brutal weakness. It is heavenly. So I considered trying to duplicate that dip entirely but then I went a different way instead with this one and made it kid friendly. I also avoided the salt and high sodium that is in many pre-made dips by adding small amounts of flavouring on my own. I can control the salt when I make it myself and that’s always a good thing. I do that a lot now. Taco kits and prepackaged kits are extremely heavy in sodium so I mix and match my own taco and tortilla spices. Remember the high blood pressure readings I had last year? Well, the summer helps with that a bit but I still need to manage my blood pressure with diet and exercise. So I limit salt. This recipe will work for those of you who are also watching your sodium. But don’t overdo it. There’s such a thing as too much of a good thing.
