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.

My daughter Ainsley helped me with this Low Sodium Sour Cream Nacho Dip. She also helped to devour it after it was made. That’s sometimes my best secret to getting these girls to eat. When they chip in and help create the food they love to eat the food. That makes everybody happy.

My hubby and I love to snack on chips and dip! This sounds super yummy!
Thanks Robyn. It was pretty good for sure.
Oh yum what a delicious snack – perfect to go with a movie night I think! x
This sounds like a really good dip. I need to make it soon.
This sounds really good. I have a friend who is watching her sodium intake so this will be perfect for our next girls day.
That sounds pretty amazing. I would love to make this for a get together!
Yum what a perfect snack! We love to munch on chips and dip while we watch movies so this would be great!
This is the perfect way to change up for our normal movie night snacks. The dip sounds really nice!
I would love to try your Sour Cream Nacho Dip featuring Gay Lea!
I love that this dip is low in sodium. My husband needs to cut down on his salt intake so I will definitely be making this for him.
That looks delicious and I love that it is low in sodium. I need to try this.
I have never had a sour cream dip before. Your post is making me want to try some.
Sounds like a great dip even for those of us who aren’t sodium restricted.
Sounds like a delicious dip. I would love to try that
That sounds like a great dip. I think I might use this for my 7 layer dip this weekend to add a bit more flavor.
A good dip is my downfall. Not that I don’t indulge from time to time (ahem), just saying. 🙂
Sounds like a delicious dip. This is the first time I have heard about this sour cream nacho dip. My husband loves to try varieties of appetizer. Great to know that it is fat free and Lactose free as well. Thanks for sharing this recipe idea!
This is exactly what I was looking for. As I was watching a movie tonight I thought I needed something to eat but I dodn’t want something sweet. A dip would have been perfect!
Awesome snack idea for a low-key get together! Who doesn’t love chips and dip!?
I’m definitely making this recipe because I love spicy food and especially dip. This recipe has some kick to it which is perfect for me!
