When it comes to dips, they’re typically not that substantive, and usually not at all filled with anything nutritious. While we can’t really say this dip is actually good for you, we can say that it’s jam-packed with broccoli! (Which is a step in the right direction, right?!) If you want something that’s seriously flavorful, got some tasty veg in it, and – as you know we do best – stuffed with bacon, this is the dip for you! We attacked this stuff with some crust bread and sturdy crackers, but we won’t tell if you scoop a bite of this with a spoon…there’s no wrong way to enjoy this!
