Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup mayonnaise
- 4 oz pimentos, drained and chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.125 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise. Use a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula to blend them together until smooth and creamy.
Add the shredded sharp cheddar cheese to the bowl. Mix until thoroughly incorporated and smooth.
Gently fold in the drained and chopped pimentos using a spatula, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Season the mixture with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all ingredients and distribute the spices evenly.
Transfer the keto pimento cheese dip into a serving bowl. Optionally, allow the dip to chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together, but it can also be served immediately.
Serve the pimento cheese dip with low-carb vegetables like celery sticks, cucumber slices, or bell pepper strips, or pair with your favorite keto-friendly crackers.
