I used homemade roasted peppers and only dried the strips on paper towels for about a half hour, so my dip looked a little runny. I threw a handfull of blanched almonds into the cuisinart, to great effect. THe dip firmed up nicely, once chilled and tasted great.

This is one of our favorite appetizers--serve with toasted slices of French or Italian bread (brushed with olive oil and rubbed with garlic if time permits), served with crackers or with crudités. Great already portioned out in endive leaves. Looks beautiful and tastes wonderful.

Set the roasted pepper on multiple layers of paper towels the night before making the dip.

Doesn’t need the extra salt.

Super easy & delicious. I used a jar of roasted red peppers. This is my new, go to, easy & healthy pantry dip.
