  • “This was very good – I used real cream cheese as well and a blender set on puree.Better after letting it sit in the fridge for a few hours so it can set.Great taste!!”

  • “I had to make this using regular cream cheese because I just can’t go fat free. But Man was this good. I don’t know if it was because I’m on a red pepper kick or what. I just really loved it.”

  • “Made this for a pot luck birthday lunch I went to today, I didnt use lite cream cheese either, and sprinkled dill on top. Served it with an assortment of yellow bell pepper, small white button mushrooms, carrot sticks, celery sticks and courgette sticks. Sat back and watched peoples reactions when trying (there was about 100 there) and heard some satisfied ‘ooohs and aaahs'”

  • “Great recipe! Iused it as a sauce over cauliflower & broccoli , baked in the oven MMMMmmmmmm Thanks Cheers BergyWatch for recipe”

  • “The ease if this recipe was great.The ingredients wonderful, but I agree it seemed to be missing something. It was good, but not spectacular. I plan to try this again and play abit to see if I can jazz it up. “

  • “Nice dip.I thought the scallions and garlic would add lots of flavor (it is called a savoury dip), but I felt it needed a boost.Maybe more garlic, hot sauce or herbs?”

  • “Just made this tonight. I’m a big garlic and pepper fan, so I upped the garlic a bit and used about 10 oz. of peppers. This is one of the best homemade dips I have had.”

  • “I jazzed this up just a little with some onion powder and Tabasco sauce. Took it to a potluck lunch at the office, and it did not last long.”

  • “this is good i added red pepper flakes and a can of white crab meat. it was super!”

  • “I also made this recipe using regular cream cheese, and added a couple of teaspoons of hot sauce for a little extra zip.This dip goes very well with crackers & raw veggies–this dip was a big hit at my holiday party – I highly recommend!”

  • “I made this and it was ok–kind of fattening though!Try my “Roasted Red Pepper Dip” if you like red peppers but not all the calories!!”

  • “I am very sorry, but we all thought this was not very good. It could be because I roasted my own red peppers instead of buying them in the jar, but I thought that would amp up the flavor if anything. Instead it was very, very bland. Sorry!”

  • “Loved this! :)”

  • “Great dip!I used low-fat instead of non-fat cream cheese and used an entire cup vs. 1/2 cup to thicken it up a bit.Very tasty and everyone raved about it!”

  • “I really wanted to like this dip. I love dips! I love red peppers, and I love cream cheese! In the end it was just bland. I made everyone try it, but no one came back for more.”

  • “My favorite kind of recipe – easy and delicious! I got this from one of the suggested Valentine’s Day menus, and it sounded good. It was SUPER EASY, and addictively delicious! I used a really big clove of garlic, because i love garlic, and it was too much. Just follow the directions, and you will have an awesome dip in no time! THANKS!”

  • “This was great!I used light cream cheese and added 1/4 t salt.Served it with homemade focaccia bread!Yum!”

  • “Very good dip, enjoyed by all.I too addedadditional garlic.thank you Miller for sharing the recipe.”

  • “Wow, what good, thick dip with intence red pepper flavor! I did use some salt though, and a little more garlic. Very yummy on almost anything!”

  • “This lived up to all my expectations after seeing Derf’s picture.Love roasted red peppers; loved this dip.Great texture and scrumptious blend of flavours.I more or less doubled the recipe, then increased the amount of garlic.I added four cloves.Everyone loved it: it disappeared really fast.I had several requests for the recipe, and I’ll be making it again.I made sure that it was well chilled before I served it.It does taste better chilled.”
