Roasted Red Pepper Spread Recipe

This dip or spread is a twist on a recipe from Kalyn's Kitchen. I made it friendly to my diet with chevre goat cheese instead of yoghurt and cream cheese. The chevre adds a mild tartness to the spread. I used this dip/spread on everything from crackers and veggie sticks, to a spread on tortillas for fish tacos. Yummmmm! Everyone loves the mint flavor in the dip.

  2. This sounds soooo good. I wonder if I could use cashews/cashew cheese in place of the goat cheese to make it completely non-dairy? I have a bottle of roasted red peppers in the pantry, I just might give it a try.

  3. Thanks for the inspiration, Kalyn.

    Nancy, cashews would be great to make it non-dairy. Let us know how it turns out and I'll make a note on the recipe.
