Roasted Red Pepper Dip

Roasted Red Pepper Dip (with Feta) is perfect for a party appetizer, and when it’s served with veggie dippers it’s a tasty low-carb treat. And when I make this in the summer I love to add some finely chopped mint!

This Roasted Red Pepper Dip is something I love to make when it’s hot weather and you have mint in the garden or mint is inexpensive at the grocery store. 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 the roasted red pepper dip will still be fabulous! If you serve vegetables to scoop up the dip like I did, this is perfect for a low-carb snack, but also flavorful enough to serve for a party. Trust me, no one will even think about this being low in carbs!

And this roasted red pepper dip is one of my favorite snacks with celery, but it’s good with a variety of low-carb veggies! No matter what kind of crunchy dippers you use, I hope you enjoy trying this!

Is fresh mint a must for the roasted red pepper dip?

I did love the fresh mint flavor with the Feta in this tasty dip. But if you don’t have fresh mint and don’t want to buy it just for one recipe, this will still be delicious without it. You could also try parsley instead of mint if you like the sound of that.

What veggies are good with Roasted Red Pepper Dip?

I do love this dip with the celery and sugar-snap peas you see in the photo. It will also be tasty with other low-carb veggies like like jicama, cauliflower, asparagus, green beans, turnips, radishes, or broccoli.
