Made with roasted red peppers, garlic, olive oil, and a touch of tang from lemon juice, this dip offers a rich depth of flavor while being light and refreshing. It’s quick to prepare and pairs beautifully with fresh veggies, pita chips, or crackers. The combination of sweet roasted peppers and savory garlic creates a mouthwatering dip that’s both healthy and flavorful, making it a great addition to your appetizer rotation.
Ingredients:
- 2 large roasted red peppers (jarred or homemade)
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ¼ cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt or cream cheese (optional for creaminess)
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- If using jarred roasted red peppers, drain them well. If roasting your own, char the peppers over an open flame or under the broiler until the skin is blackened, then peel off the skin and remove the seeds.
- In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted red peppers, minced garlic, olive oil, lemon juice, and smoked paprika. Blend until smooth.
- If you prefer a creamier dip, add Greek yogurt or cream cheese and blend again until fully incorporated.
- Taste and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with fresh parsley, if desired.
Serve your Roasted Red Pepper Dip with pita chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables, and enjoy the smoky, tangy flavors!
