Keto Crockpot Chard Artichoke Dip

This keto crockpot chard artichoke dip is rich, creamy, and delicious! This will be a big hit every time you serve it!

We loved this keto crockpot chard artichoke dip! I went to one of my favorite markets and they sell bags which contain an assortment of different vegetable that varies with each bag. I bought a couple of bags, ok maybe three bags; and one was full of chard. I decided to try a fun variation to my favorite spinach artichoke dip and use chard instead of spinach. Not only was it incredibly delicious, but the red from the chard made it very pretty as well!

Let’s talk about chard!

Chard is a leafy green which is related to beets. There are different varieties of chard. For this dish I used rainbow chard which has different colored stems. It is a low calorie and low fat food which is rich in nutrients. Chard provides us with calcium, copper, folate, iron, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, potassium, and vitamins A, C, E, and K. Chard can be eaten raw or cooked. When cooked, it tastes very similar to spinach. Chard leaves are firmer than spinach but less firm than kale. Of note, the stems of chard can be eaten but they are thick and will take longer to cook than the leaves. We are only using the leaves for this dip. I used my stems and made pickled chard stems.

What other ingredients go into this keto crockpot chard artichoke dip?

I used artichokes, packed in water for my dip. You can use marinated artichokes if you’d like. Which ever you use, you’ll want to drain and chop them. The combination of cream cheese, mayonnaise, and sour cream give this dip an amazing creamy texture. When buying mayo, always read your labels to make sure there is no added sugar or oils that you don’t want in it. For our cheese blend, we use both shredded mozzarella and freshly grated parmesan cheese. Yum! Since most prepackaged shredded and grated cheeses add ingredients such as cellulose or potato starch, I like to shred and grate my own. I also this it melts better. For seasonings, we use a combination of garlic and onion powder, salt, smoked paprika, and pepper. I love smoked paprika, but you can use regular paprika if you’d like.

What can I serve with this keto crockpot chard artichoke dip?

You have some great keto options for serving this dip. You can serve it with raw vegetables. Some great low carb options include broccoli, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, sliced bell peppers, or sliced radishes. Another great dipper option is keto crackers or keto chips. You can also use cheese whisps or pork rinds as dippers. I’ve even used cheese slices and top them with hot dips and it’s a great option too. And don’t let anyone tell you that you can’t eat this dip as is out of a bowl with a big spoon.😊
