How to Make Guilt Free Creamy Roasted Red Pepper Basil Dip Low Fat

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Roast 2 large red bell peppers, whole, until skins are blackened and blistered (about 30-40 minutes). Place in a bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and let cool for 15 minutes. Peel, seed, and roughly chop the peppers.
  2. Combine 1 cup packed fresh basil leaves, the roasted red peppers, 2 cloves garlic, and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped but not pureed.
  3. In a medium bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup light mayonnaise, 1/2 cup plain nonfat Greek yogurt, 1 tablespoon onion flakes, and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder until smooth.
  4. Gently stir the red pepper and basil mixture into the yogurt and mayo mixture. Mix well to combine.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld. The longer it chills, the better it tastes!
  6. Serve with your favorite chips, vegetables, cold cooked shrimp, or spread on sandwiches in place of mayonnaise.
