Notes

I serve these babies with an easy homemade paleo ranch for the ultimate dipping, but you can choose whatever sauces your heart desires. Healthy honey mustard? A homemade BBQ sauce? TIME TO GET WILD. Oh and these three dipping sauces are the absolute best and would be so perfect! I also really like this Whole30 ketchup.
