Roasted Bell Peppers and Goat Cheese Spread
Tangy Creamy Smoky Goat Cheese Dip
Posted By Savita
Sweet and smoky roasted bell peppers pair perfect with creamy and slightly tangy goat cheese. This is a spread which can also be served as nice and creamy dip. It is my favorite dip for parties or family get-togethers and leftovers are excellent spread for a cold Tuna Sandwich or Grilled Rustic Italic Bread. Why I love it so much? Well, first reason is the taste and second - gorgeous beautiful pink color. This dip stands out even in a platter full of colorful veggies for dipping. I usually make this dip over the weekend because I roast my own peppers rather than buying a jar (picky…). However, I recommend saving most of the time by using store bought peppers (those are equally good) and time to make this dip will reduce to just and just 5 minutes. Also, it stays perfect in refrigerator for up to 2-3 days.
