Looking for a Bread Dip

[jkuczek]

I'm having an open house and am making the beer bread. I would like to have a bread dip that's made w/ PC pantry stuff. Any ideas??

Otherwise, I could my Tastefully Simple dips, but I'm just trying to keep it all PC!!!

I always use a dip from our Farmers Market Seasoning Set to go withy our beer bread. I love them all!

dips for bread

All the spices have dip recipes on the back. I love the Southwest Seasoning and the Dill dips. YUMMY!

Below are some recipes for dips that would go well with bread.

Roasted Garlic & Red Pepper Dip

2 whole heads garlic, unpeeled
1 large red bell pepper, cut into 1" wedges
1 tsp olive oil
1 pack (8 oz) fat free cream cheese, softened
1/2 c fat free sour cream
2 tsp lemon juice
1/2 tsp rosemary herb seasoning mix


Preheat oven to 425. Slice about 1/4 inch from top of each garlic head to expose garlic cloves. Place in center of deep dish baker; surround with bell pepper wedges. Spray garlic and bell pepper with olive oil using kitchen spritzer; cover with aluminum foil. Bake 40-45 minutes or until garlic is soft; cool completly.

Place cream cheese in small batter bowl; microwave on high 30 seconds until softened. Whisk vigorously until smooth using stainless steel whisk.

Remove skin from bell pepper; finely chop using food chopper. Squeeze garlic cloves from papery skin into batter bowl. Add bell pepper, sour cream, lemon juice and seasoning mix; mix well. Cover; refrigerate at least 1 hour to allow flavors to blend.

Yields: 1 1/2 cups (serves 12)

Cook's Tip: Substituting reduced-fat (Neufchâtel) cream cheese and light mayonnaise for the cream cheese and mayonnaise reduces the calories to 150 and total fat to 10 grams per serving. If desired, 2 cans (6 ounces each) white crabmeat, drained and flaked, can be substituted for the imitation crabmeat. Cut shapes from red bell pepper using Creative Cutters for an attractive garnish.
