Guilt Free Creamy Roasted Red Pepper & Basil Dip (Low Fat)

Recipe #303225 | 1¼ hours | 5 min prep | SERVES 8 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Sarah_Jayne

This is really tasty and you wouldn't really guess it is so low fat if you didn't already know. It is good with chips and vegetables and also really nice as a dip served with cold cooked shrimp, almost like shrimp cocktail. I also use it on my sandwiches instead of just plain mayo to give me lots of taste without fat. The cooking time includes the 1hr chilling time.

Ingredients

  • cup roasted sweet red pepper, from a jar, roughly chopped
  • cup fresh basil leaf
  • cup fat-free mayonnaise
  • 1 1/2 cups nonfat plain yogurt
  • tablespoons dried onion flakes
  • teaspoon garlic powder
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Put the sweet peppers and bail into a food processor or mini chopper and blitz for about 30 seconds until the sweet peppers are really finely chopped and combined with the basil.
    2. 2
      Combine the mayo, yogurt, onion flakes and garlic powder in a bowl making sure everything is well mixed.
    3. 3
      Stir in the sweet red pepper mixture and combine well.
    4. 4
      Cover and chill in the fridge for at least and hour but the longer the better so the flavors develop.
    5. 5
      Take out and serve or spread on a sandwich like normal mayo.

    What a wonderful dip! I'll never go back to the prepared stuff again! I love dips but they are usually loaded with fat and not very heathly. This dip is a keeper! Taste great and good for you...Thanks for a keeper.
