This came from a box of Sundried Tomato and Basil Wheat Thins - different because it uses a fresh bell pepper instead of a roasted one! Very simple and good - I've been asked for the recipe anytime I have served it, in fact, I usually make a double batch.

LAYERED PESTO AND ROASTED RED PEPPER DIP



Layered Pesto and Roasted Red Pepper Dip image

I found this delicious dip recipe on a box of Wheat Thins. The taste is so amazing and elegant. If I didn't know better, I would have thought there was wine in the recipe. I tried each layer seperately and they were good - but perfect together on a cracker. The photo shown is what this recipe makes....for company, I would double it if I were you. Pesto and Red Pepper...a great combination now in my book!

  • To make the pesto, use fresh basil leaves for the best flavor. You can also add other herbs like parsley, cilantro, or arugula to the pesto for a different flavor profile.
  • When making the Roasted Red Pepper and Pesto Dip, don't over-roast the peppers. They should be slightly charred but still hold their shape.
  • For the Sun-Dried Tomato Pesto Dip, use high-quality sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil. This will give the dip a rich and flavorful taste.
  • To make the Creamy Avocado and Pesto Dip, use ripe and creamy avocados. This will give the dip a smooth and velvety texture.
  • When making the White Bean and Pesto Dip, use canned white beans that have been rinsed and drained. This will help to remove any excess starch and make the dip lighter.
