Tips:

- When ready to serve, bring the roasted red peppers and almonds to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then, simply blend them together with the remaining ingredients until smooth.
- Serve the dip with pita chips, crackers, or vegetables. It's also great as a spread on sandwiches or wraps.
- Garnish the dip with a drizzle of olive oil, a sprinkle of paprika, or some chopped fresh herbs.
