Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large (or 1 cup jarred, drained) Roasted red peppers
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 8 oz (softened) Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 2 tbsp (chopped) Fresh parsley
Instructions
If using fresh red peppers, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are charred and blackened. Transfer them to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them steam for 10 minutes. Peel off the skins and remove the seeds. Skip this step if using jarred roasted red peppers.
Roughly chop the roasted red peppers and set aside.
Chop the green onions finely, separating the white and green parts.
In a food processor, combine the roasted red peppers, softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Add the white parts of the green onions to the food processor and pulse a few times to incorporate.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and gently fold in the green parts of the green onions and the chopped parsley.
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve chilled with fresh vegetables, crackers, or bread slices. Enjoy!
