Ingredients
  

1 cup roasted red peppers (jarred or homemade, drained if jarred)

1 cup feta cheese, crumbled

1/4 cup cream cheese, softened

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

1 tablespoon lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

1 garlic clove, minced

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

Salt and black pepper, to taste

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Pita chips or fresh vegetables (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven (if using homemade peppers): If you are roasting your own red peppers, preheat your oven to 450°F (230°C). Place whole bell peppers on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes until the skins are blistered and charred. Remove from oven, cover with foil, and let steam for 10 minutes. Peel the skins off and let cool, then chop.

    Blend the Ingredients: In a food processor, combine the roasted red peppers, crumbled feta cheese, softened cream cheese, olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, and smoked paprika. Blend until smooth and creamy.

      Season To Taste: Taste the mixture and add salt and black pepper as needed. If you like a bit more zing, consider adding an additional splash of lemon juice or more smoked paprika.

        Chill: Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This can be made a day in advance for an even deeper flavor.

          Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle fresh chopped parsley on top for a pop of color. Serve chilled or at room temperature with pita chips or a variety of fresh vegetables like carrots, cucumbers, and bell pepper strips.
