Keto and Paleo Roasted Red Pepper Dip and Chia Seed Cracker Recipe

I had the red pepper dip with walnuts at a restaurant in San Francisco and it was so tasty. I was thinking how Keto and paleo friendly it could be if made with the right ingredients. I came home and made it with chia seed crackers that have so much fiber they basically have no net carbs. This a great dip and cracker combo to take to party where conventional eaters will go crazy for it.
