Roasted Red Bell Pepper and Feta Dip

This is probably one of the easiest and tastiest dips you will ever make. I use three cheeses to achieve a tangy yet creamy outcome. See below for suggestions for dipping choices and their calorie counts.

 Makes about 3/4 cup (180 ml)
¼ cup (40g) reduced-fat feta cheese
¼ cup (50 g) part-skim ricotta cheese
3 tablespoons reduced-fat cream cheese
½ cup (90 g) jarred roasted red bell peppers, coarsely chopped
Salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

Place all of the ingredients in the bowl of a food processor and process until fairly smooth, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Adjust the seasoning, transfer to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate until ready to use.

Spinach Feta Dill Dip

A wonderfully healthy dip that marries well with whole wheat crackers, baked whole wheat flat bread, or veggies. The spinach and dill give it a bright green color, while the cheeses add flavor and creaminess. The full fat version of this dip clocks in at 105 calories and 10 grams of fat per serving.
