Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Roasted red peppers (jarred or homemade)
- 0.5 cup Low-fat Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Red wine vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 Garlic clove (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
If making roasted red peppers at home, preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C). Place whole red peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred. Remove from the oven, let cool, and peel off the skin. Remove seeds and stems. Measure 1 cup for this recipe.
In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted red peppers, low-fat Greek yogurt, olive oil, red wine vinegar, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper.
Blend until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the blender or food processor as needed to ensure all ingredients are fully incorporated.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or a little extra honey for sweetness if desired.
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve as a salad dressing, a dip for fresh vegetables, or a sauce for grain bowls. Store in the refrigerator for up to one week.
