I discovered roasted red pepper dip at a market near my home. The shop sells other dips that I have tried before, they have an onion dip, a blue cheese dip, and classic spinach and artichoke. Recently their roasted red bell pepper dip caught my eye and I am mildly obsessed with it. It is creamy with bold red bell pepper taste and a mild spice. I always go back for more. Sometimes I search my kitchen for things to dip in it.

Luckily, the ingredients for the dip were listed on the tub. It was made with red bell peppers, garlic, cream cheese, and hot sauce. So easy! To make this dip you just need to roast red peppers and then place them in a food processor to break them down. Then add all the other ingredients. It’s so easy!

I did make one change and added some toasted pine nuts to my dip to help thicken it. I like how the nuts added depth of flavor to the dip.

Hosting a Party without Cooking

The dip is incredible on a sandwich, I especially like adding a thick layer of the dip to a turkey sandwich. The red pepper flavor brings the sandwich to a new level. When my girl friends came over for a casual get-together after work on a Wednesday, I created a spread of food including the roasted red pepper dip, pesto hummus, chips, crackers, cheese, and materials to make sandwiches. It was an easy way to host friends, and the red pepper dip was a hit.
