There’s cheesecake in the fridge and a box of Girl Scout cookies in the pantry. I’m trying very hard not to eat either.
The other night I was tired and hungry, and needed a quick healthy alternative. I whipped up this simple little dip and was pleasantly surprised by the creamy sweet taste.
It was a little thin, but thickened up after a few hours in the fridge. The next day I drizzled it over some leftover tofu and couscous. Yum! I finished it off with some pretzels.
I’ll be making sure to stash some jarred peppers in the pantry for the future.
Roasted Red Pepper Dip
1 12-14 oz jar of roasted red peppers (packed in water not oil) drained
1/3 cup almonds, skins removed*
1 small garlic clove
pinch of sea salt

Combine everything in a food processor. I actually used my NutriBullet.
The “chips” are just raw zucchini thinly sliced on my cheapo mandoline slicer purchased from the grocery store.
