I didn't have any roasted red peppers on hand, so I used sun-dried tomatoes instead. The dip was still very good, but it had a slightly different flavor.

This dip is a bit too spicy for me, but it's still very good.

I love this dip! It's so flavorful and versatile. I've used it as a dip for veggies, crackers, and even as a spread on sandwiches.
