Easy Low Fat Roasted Red Pepper Dip

"Pink Eyed" Jim Cortina's Note:

Once you taste this roasted red pepper dip, you'll never need to make another full-of-cheese, loaded-with-fat, red pepper dip again. I tweaked the recipe given to me by the chef of a local brewpub, Harvest Moon, where they charged $9 for a little ramekin of this stuff with some crudites and pita crisps. It was well worth the $9. That's how good this dip is. Trust me, try it.

• Total Time: 1 hrs 5 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hrs

Ingredients:

Serves: 10-12

Yield: 2.0 cups

• 1 (16 ounce) jar sliced roasted red peppers, drained
• 1 (6 ounce) container nonfat plain yogurt
• 3/4 cup raisins
• 1 cup toasted sliced almonds
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 3 dashes hot sauce, to taste (I prefer Tobasco)

Directions:

1. Puree all ingredients in a food processor until smooth.
2. Chill for at least an hour.
3. Serve. I usually serve this with sliced cucumbers and raw red pepper slices and pita chips, but you can serve this with whatever you want.

I made this dip yesterday for a BBQ that I was having. It was very easy and tasted delicious. Everyone enjoyed it. They liked it (and helped themselves to) even more when I told them how healthy it was. Five of us polished off the whole thing. I served the dip with bagel chips, red pepper slices and rice crackers. I'll definitely make this again. Thanks, Jim!

This is an amazing dip. I added a little madras curry powder to it. My daughter and I can't get enough of this.
