Roasted Red Pepper Dip
I made this dip for Hubby and a friend when they were hanging out. It made a huge amount of dip! Since we had so much leftover, we got creative with it. We spread it on top of some salmon and baked the salmon in the oven – it was AWESOME! I would recommend doing that if you have leftovers of this dip. Or even just make this as a salmon topping.
The original recipe called for 2 cloves of garlic and I always double the garlic in recipes. However, this time that was a little bit overkill. The garlic is very strong in this dip, so keep that in mind. Also, I think it would have been smoother if it had been mixed in a blender instead of a food processor.
Roasted Red Pepper Dip – adapted from Milk & Honey
1 large jar of roasted red peppers – drained and blotted dry
1 red onion – chopped
4 garlic cloves – this is a LOT of garlic, if I make it again, I’d use 2 or 3
1/4 cup dry breadcumbs
1/4 cup plain fat-free yogurt
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon chipotle hot sauce
Place peppers, onion, and garlic in a food processor; process until finely chopped.
Add remaining ingredients; process until smooth. Serve with pita chips.

Ooh, that sounds great!
That sounds pretty incredible! Love your 5 day idea 🙂
That looks delicious! I wish I could convince my husband to eat squash. 🙁
LOVE this! Lentils are DELICIOUS and sooo good for you! This looks perfect!
Such a delicious filling salad! You pretty much had me at goat cheese…my favorite!
I made the Bon Appetit version last year with pumpkin. It was soo good. I actually had thought it would be good with butternut squash too. Great salad!
I’ve been eyeing that recipe since the original in BA and again since SK posted it. Where do you get your uncooked black lentils?
Cara – I used the Goya brand lentils from my grocery store. They were greenish brown.
This looks awesome…I have some lentils I have been wanting to use, so this will be perfect!
i made this too and it was AWESOME 🙂
I love the combination of hearty lentils, sweet and spicy butternut squash and tangy goat cheese. I can imagine every flavor in this!
