Ingredients
- 2 roasted red peppers (jarred or homemade)
- 1/2 cup cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh herbs for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- First things first, if you’re using jarred roasted red peppers, drain them well. If you’re feeling adventurous, you can roast your own peppers by placing them under the broiler until the skins are charred. Let them cool, peel off the skins, and then you’re good to go!
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and olive oil. Use an electric mixer or a whisk to blend until smooth and creamy. This is the base of your dip, and it should be as creamy as a cloud!
- Next up, chop your roasted red peppers and fold them into the cream mixture. It’s okay if some little chunks remain; they add texture and pizzazz!
- Add the garlic powder, onion powder, and season with salt and pepper to your liking. Give it another gentle mix—just enough to distribute the flavors.
- Taste it! Is it perfect? If you like it a bit richer, feel free to add more cream cheese. If you need more zing, toss in an extra garlic or sprinkle of herbs.
- Once you’re happy with the taste, transfer your dip to a serving bowl. Now, it’s showtime! Garnish with fresh herbs if you like, that way, it looks as fabulous as it tastes.
- Serve with your favorite dippers! Chips, veggies, bread—whatever tickles your fancy!
And there you have it! In less time than it takes to argue over the best superhero movie, you’ve got yourself a sensational dip that’s perfect for any occasion. So, dig in and enjoy the compliments you’re bound to receive!
