This Roasted Red Pepper Dip with Feta is something that’s perfect to make when it’s hot weather and you have mint in the garden. But for people who love roasted red peppers and Feta (like me) this is a tasty dip for any time of year. And if you don’t feel like buying mint during the winter, just leave it out and this will still be delicious!

And if you serve low-carb vegetables to scoop up the dip like I did, this is perfect for a snack, but also flavorful enough to serve for a party. And trust me, no one will even think about this being low in carbs!
