Serve with thinly sliced fennel, chilled steamed asparagus, endive leaves, purple heirloom carrots and radishes. You can also use as a sauce to top chicken, fish or grilled tofu, or thin them with lemon juice to make a creamy salad dressing.
ANTIOXIDANT-RICH PEPPERS: Not only do roasted red peppers jazz up this dip, but they also bring nutrients like vitamins A and C to the mix. Both vitamins are free radical– scavenging antioxidants that work together to slow down aging, ward off disease, maintain healthy skin and support immune function.
