Truth be told, I’ve been a little obsessed lately with Roasted Red Peppers. They’re showing up everywhere… dressings, salads, recipes everywhere. I’ve even been stashing a few to try, including the one below.
Holy Hannah! This dip blows away any other dip that I’ve made. It’s got just 1 cup of sour cream, but gets a LOT of volume from canned roasted red peppers (in water.) It also picks up a TON of additional flavor from basil and cilantro… Seriously amazing.
I can’t wait to hear what you guys think when you try this one. I made it on Sunday night with my veggies, and REALLY wished there was a way to capture that delicious scent in this post.
Where is scratch and sniff when I need it? You laugh, but it’s coming… but hopefully, it won’t be applied to all those sweaty workout posts I see around the web.
