If you like ants on a log, you'll love this easier alternative! Turn the classic snack into a dip version and mix up your vegetables. Not a fan of celery? Go for carrots! Want more fruit? Sliced apples make a great dipping option! Have leftovers? Spread some on whole grain bread for a quick sandwich that will travel well.
