RED PEPPER CHEDDAR DIP
Another magazine find. Hope you enjoy!!!! The recipe calls for Tabasco sauce, but you can use your favorite. It is also recommended that you either use the thick slice bacon or either double the amount of bacon if you are using the thin slice. Cook time is mostly "chill" time. one of those dips that gets better as it sits.

Tips:
- For a sweeter salad, use ripe red bell peppers. For a more tart salad, use unripe green bell peppers.
- To make the salad more colorful, add other vegetables such as diced cucumber, shredded carrots, or chopped celery.
- For a more flavorful salad, use a sharp cheddar cheese. A mild cheddar cheese will also work, but it will not have as much flavor.
- If you are using a pre-shredded cheddar cheese, make sure to rinse it well before using it. This will remove any excess starch that can make the salad gummy.
- For a creamy salad, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
- Serve the salad immediately or chill it for later. The salad will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
Red bell pepper and cheddar cheese salad is a delicious and easy-to-make salad that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover bell peppers and cheddar cheese. The salad is also a good source of vitamins A and C, and it is a good source of fiber. If you are looking for a healthy and tasty salad, red bell pepper and cheddar cheese salad is a great option.
