Ingredients
- 2 whole red bell peppers
- 3 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 cup Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Place the red bell peppers on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are charred and blistered.
Step 3
Remove the peppers from the oven and transfer them to a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a plate and let the peppers steam for 10 minutes to loosen the skins.
Step 4
Peel off the charred skins, discard the stems and seeds, and set the roasted peppers aside to cool slightly.
Step 5
In a blender or food processor, combine the roasted red peppers, fresh chives, Greek yogurt, olive oil, white wine vinegar, garlic clove, honey, salt, and black pepper.
Step 6
Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as necessary to ensure everything is well combined.
Step 7
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning, adding more salt, pepper, or honey as desired.
Step 8
Transfer the dressing to a jar or airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
Step 9
Serve chilled with salads, roasted vegetables, or as a dip for crusty bread or crudités.
