Ingredients
- 2 large (or 1 cup jarred, drained) Roasted red peppers
- 3 stalks Green onions
- 8 oz (softened) Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 0.25 cup Mayonnaise
- 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Paprika
- 2 tbsp (chopped) Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
If using fresh red peppers, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place the peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 15-20 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are charred and blackened. Transfer them to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let them steam for 10 minutes. Peel off the skins and remove the seeds. Skip this step if using jarred roasted red peppers.
Step 2
Roughly chop the roasted red peppers and set aside.
Step 3
Chop the green onions finely, separating the white and green parts.
Step 4
In a food processor, combine the roasted red peppers, softened cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, minced garlic, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Add the white parts of the green onions to the food processor and pulse a few times to incorporate.
Step 6
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and gently fold in the green parts of the green onions and the chopped parsley.
Step 7
Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Step 8
Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 9
Serve chilled with fresh vegetables, crackers, or bread slices. Enjoy!
