Ingredients

• 2 large Red bell peppers
• 2 medium Garlic cloves
• 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
• 0.5 cup Plain Greek yogurt
• 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C).

Step 2

Place the whole red bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast them in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skin is charred and blistered.

Step 3

Once roasted, transfer the peppers to a bowl and cover with plastic wrap. Let them steam for about 10 minutes, which will make peeling the skins easier.

Step 4

While the peppers are steaming, peel and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 5

Once the peppers have cooled enough to handle, gently peel away the charred skin, remove the stems, and discard the seeds.

Step 6

In a food processor, combine the peeled roasted peppers, minced garlic, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, ground black pepper, fresh dill, and paprika.

Step 7

Process the mixture until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed to ensure an even consistency.

Step 8

Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary with additional black pepper or lemon juice to your preference.

Step 9

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Serve chilled with your choice of fresh vegetables, low-sodium crackers, or pita bread.
