I don't know why, but of all the foods out there, party foods and appetizers are without a doubt my favorite. They are so fun and tasty, and, hence the name party food, they bring people together! I found this recipe in a book called
Favorite Brand Name Appetizers. It's supposed to be a spread for slices of baguette, but the flavor of the ranch ended up being WAY too strong, so I thinned it out with plain, fat-free yogurt. Once it became thinner like a dip, I think it really could have gone well with so many things, potato chips, tortilla chips, veggies, a spoon, you name it. It has the flavor of ranch dip, with the sweet, pleasant surprise of the roasted red peppers. I'll post this as I originally found it, but if you want it as a dip rather then a spread, thin it out with yogurt or sour cream.
Roasted Red Pepper Spread
Ingredients1 cup roasted red peppers rinsed and drained (I used jarred peppers, but roasting your own would be SO good)
1 8 oz package cream cheese, softened
1-1 oz packet ranch salad dressing and seasoning mix
Baguette, chips, or veggies to dip
DirectionsBlot dry red peppers. IN a food processor fitted with a metal blade, combine peppers, cream cheese, adn salad dressing mix; process until smooth. Spread on baguette, or use chips and veggies to dip.

this looks ssssoooo good!!
With all the graduation parties and such coming up, this is certainly a timely post. Love the red color; it's sooo festive. I'll bet this is very tasty and one that I would love to try. I'm picturing serving this in a those packaged "traffic light" peppers, the green, red and orange peppers. How fun would that be?
This is a great recipe. It would be good on bread, pasta, sandwiches. Yum!
I love apps too! I usually puree roasted peppers and chick peas with garlic. :) This looks good too, I'll have to give it a try!
That sounds great!
I love "party food" too! The color in this would be great for the holidays!
This looks tasty! I love dips and spread with crusty bread. I could just eat that for dinner with a salad and call it good!
