Make ahead, grab-and-go

The spinach and feta dip recipe is quite versatile and can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator. The key here is to caramelize the onion, garlic and then mix with spinach, feta cheese, lemon juice, salt and pepper.

To make this breakfast, simply take a few spoonfuls of the dip and top it with a few slices of smoked salmon. If you prefer, you can also add half an avocado and serve in a lettuce cup, or on top of low carb crackers. 

Not only is this breakfast delicious and easy to make, but it's also a great source of protein. The spinach and feta dip provides about 10.5 grams of protein per 100 grams, and the smoked salmon provides about 20 grams of protein per 100 grams. This makes for a protein-packed breakfast that will keep you feeling full and satisfied throughout the morning - you won't miss snacking when you're protein fuelled & low carb. 

Other ways to enjoy spinach & feta dip

  1. Vegetable sticks: Cut up some low carb vegetables such as cucumber, capsicum, celery, or radishes and use them as dippers for the spinach and feta dip.
  2. Meat skewers: Thread some cooked chicken, beef, or pork onto skewers and serve them with the dip for a hearty, low carb meal.
  3. Lettuce cups: Fill a lettuce leaf with a spoonful of the dip, and wrap it up like a burrito. This makes for a great low carb and gluten-free option.
  4. Crustless quiche: Mix the dip with 1-4 eggs (depending on how many you'd like to eat). Spread the mixture in a greased dish, and bake it at 180 degrees C for about 20 minutes, or until set. This makes a great low carb and gluten-free quiche alternative.
  5. As a spread : you can use it as a spread on a low-carb wrap or sandwich, adding avocado or sugar free mustard.
  6. As a salad dressing : you can use it as a salad dressing by mixing it with some olive oil and lemon juice, it would be a perfect combination for salads.
  7. As a topping: Spread some on top of grilled chicken or fish, it would make a great topping to add some flavour and nutrition
