This elegant Bagna Cauda dip with assorted vegetables is a celebration of seasonal produce and bold Mediterranean flavours. Originating from Piedmont, this warm, savoury sauce is traditionally made with garlic, anchovies and olive oil. It provides a sophisticated alternative to creamy dips, offering a rich depth that perfectly complements the natural sweetness of lightly blanched vegetables like asparagus, baby beets and courgettes.
As a diabetes-friendly option, this dish focuses on high-fibre vegetables and heart-healthy fats. The slow-simmered garlic becomes mellow and creamy, creating a luxurious texture without the need for heavy flour-based thickeners. It makes a wonderful appetiser for a dinner party or a light, nutritious lunch sharing platter that feels indulgent while remaining health-conscious and naturally low in carbohydrates.
