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!

I'm not usually a fan of pesto, but I really enjoyed this dip. The roasted red peppers balance out the flavor nicely.

I didn't have any pesto on hand, so I used a jarred sauce instead. It still turned out great!
