Ingredients
  

2 large red bell peppers

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/2 cup cream cheese, softened

1/4 cup Greek yogurt

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice

2 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 teaspoon salt

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Crackers or fresh veggies (for serving)

Instructions
 

Roast the Peppers: Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Place the red bell peppers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Roast for about 20-25 minutes, turning occasionally, until the skins are charred and blistered. Once roasted, remove from the oven and wrap the peppers in foil. Let them steam for 10-15 minutes to loosen the skins.

    Prep the Peppers: After the peppers have cooled, carefully peel off the charred skins, remove the stem and seeds, and chop them into smaller pieces.

      Blend the Dip: In a food processor, combine the roasted red peppers, crumbled feta cheese, cream cheese, Greek yogurt, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, smoked paprika, black pepper, and salt. Blend until smooth and creamy, scraping down the sides as needed.

        Taste & Adjust: Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if necessary – more salt or lemon juice can elevate the flavors depending on your preference. Blend again briefly to combine any added ingredients.

          Chill (Optional): For optimal flavor, let the dip chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

            Serve: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, garnish with freshly chopped parsley, and serve with your choice of crackers or fresh veggies.
