What to eat with this spread

So what should you serve with this amazing little dish? it’s wonderful with keto cheese crackers, a good low-carb bread, or even some regular store-bought crackers (if you don’t mind the carbs)!

For some lower-carb options, try cucumber rounds or celery sticks. Fresh veggies add a delicious crunch.

I will also admit that I’m guilty of eating it right off a spoon.
