CleanKeto Cheeze Spread

Use this as a dip, such as with crudites, or in place of cheeses such as in lasagna, or on CleanKeto meatza.

For use as a dip or in lasagna, I go heavier on the lemon juice and spices so it’s more flavorful, whereas for use in meatza, I go light on the lemon juice and the spices to make it milder (more like mozzarella cheese), so it doesn’t compete too much with the pizza sauce and sausage flavors.

If you have the time, make this 1-2 days ahead of time to allow the flavors to meld and develop for an even tastier result. 😋
