Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup roasted red peppers
- 1 half-cup sour cream
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator and let it soften at room temperature for 10-15 minutes for easier mixing.
Drain the roasted red peppers and pat them dry with a paper towel. Dice them into small pieces and set aside.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves finely.
Finely chop the parsley and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and lemon juice. Use a hand mixer or a sturdy spatula to blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Add the diced roasted red peppers, minced garlic, chopped parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the cream cheese mixture. Fold in the ingredients gently to evenly distribute the seasonings and peppers without over-mixing.
Taste test the dip and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with crackers, chips, or fresh crudités like carrot sticks, celery, or bell pepper slices.
