Trader Joe's Almond Dip

This dip is so good. The roasted almonds, jalapeno, and lime give it an amazing flavor combo. But I can't take credit for the flavor combo. It's Trader Joe's. Of course. Our neighbors had a party a few weeks ago and served this dip from Trader Joe's. And of course, I decided I should figure out a recipe to make my own. Because:

• A) I don't make it to Trader Joe's as often as I'd like (meaning...I haven't been in years).
• B) I like finding simple recipes to store bought food...making them at home is more nutritious and just as (if not MORE) delicious.

why i love this Almond Dip recipe

I love that this almond jalapeno dip is high in protein, low in carbs, and packed with flavor. It's addictive and easy to eat with carrots, celery, crackers, chips, or just by the spoonful!

I also love that it's Paleo, gluten free, and dairy free. So everybody can eat it!

A healthy Appetizer for everyone

You know the feeling of walking into a party, taking one look at the appetizers provided, and realizing you can't eat anything except the raw carrots and celery?

Yeah, I've been there. It's disappointing, right? When you cut gluten and dairy from your diet it really limits what you can eat in a social setting.

Thankfully the day we went over to our our neighbors they had this dip out. As my neighbor went down the list of what each dip was, I was thrilled to hear about this almond jalepeno dip, I knew I could eat it! YES! Now I get a dip to eat with the veggies!

BONUS: It was super tasty and I kept going back to it all night!

how to make this Almond Jalepeno Dip

This dip is super easy to throw together. Just follow these simple steps.

step 1: Prepare your ingredients

Get your ingredients out and ready to go.

• Roasted almonds - if they aren't roasted, roast them in the oven @ 375 (F) until roasted (5-10 minutes).
• Limes - zest and juice your limes.
• Jalapeno - de-seed and chop your jalapeno. Since you'll be throwing everything into the food processor, you don't NEED to chop the jalapeno. I just chopped mine to get an accurate measurement for the recipe. Jalapenos can either be gigantic or tiny, so "one jalapeno" isn't very helpful. Feel free to add more or less jalapeno, depending on your preference.

step 2: Blend

Throw everything into the food processor and turn it on until blended together.

step 3: Serve The Almond Jalapeno Lime Dip

Dish it into your ramekin (or serving dish), top with chopped almonds, and lime juice (lime zest optional). Then enjoy it!

storage & Make Ahead

You can definitely make this ahead of time. If if gets too thick in the fridge, just stir in more water until it gets how you want it. I like my dips pretty thick, because think about it...if you're dipping a cracker in it at a holiday party, you don't want to ruin your dress with a dip stain!

Serving Suggestions

I love this dip with anything crunchy...

• raw veggies or sliced apple
• super simple almond flour "cheese" crackers
• store bought Paleo (grain free) lime flavored chips (YUMM) - I can only find these at one of the local grocery stores around me. I was happy to see them on Amazon here.
