Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 red bell peppers
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 garlic clove
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 450°F (230°C).
Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered.
Remove the peppers from the oven and place them in a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the peppers steam for 5-10 minutes to loosen the skin.
Peel the skin off the peppers, remove the stems and seeds, and pat the peppers dry with a paper towel.
In a food processor, combine the roasted red peppers, Greek yogurt, cream cheese, garlic clove, parsley, basil, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
Blend the mixture until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed to ensure everything is evenly mixed.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary. Add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a drizzle of olive oil or a sprinkle of fresh herbs, if desired.
Serve immediately with your choice of vegetables, crackers, or bread, or refrigerate until ready to serve.
