Roasted Vegetable Spread

During the summer, my family doesn't eat a lot of things that heat up our house..... We spend a lot of time outside grilling and when we aren't doing that we love to try different sandwiches and salads.... They seem to be so refreshing during the hot summer months.... I hope you enjoy this one......

Mmmmm, this is a very, very yummy spread!!!! The roasted veggies add such a lovely flavour and really make this dip special! I particularly enjoyed the play of the sweet red bell pepper with the tangy onion and earthy garlic. YUM! I made half the recipe using about a tbs of goats cheese cream cheese as an addition, which I thought was really nice. The recipe would have been outstanding without it, too though. THANK YOU SO MUCH for sharing this keeper with us, gertc! Ill make it again. Made and reviewed for 1-2-3 Hit Wonders June 2010.Reply

This was really wonderful! I used extra onion and added some reduced fat pesto at the end with a little more salt and a few spritzes of hot sauce. I would recommend using stronger onions-I used Vidalias as that's what I had on hand and I think they imparted a sweet taste that didn't really work with this. We spread this on crackers and thoroughly enjoyed it.....I will definitely make it again!Reply
