This recipe is very simple to prepare and I usually have all the ingredients on hand, however I think something is missing. I may doctor it up like luvmybge, but will do something as I thought that the recipe was bland the way it is written.***Updated 2/2/09 - I did add some cumin and the recipe is much improved by that simple ingredient. -
This recipe had everyone raving! Simple but pretty unique, travels well, good on just about anything...The only problem is that I've had to make 4 or 5 batches at a time because it goes quick! -
Gosh I loved this! I added a teaspoon of cumin to it and upped the roasted peppers to 1/2 cup. This is a terrific low fat dip/spread. I loved it as a dip for fresh vegetables. I always have the ingredients on hand for this. It was so easy to throw together. A keeper for sure! Thank you!

<p>My rating system: (I don't like giving bad reviews, so if I don't like it, I'll just not review it.) <br /><br />5 Stars OMG, this is one of the most amazing things I've ever eaten! I can't stop eating it, and I've eaten myself into a food coma. <br /><br />4 Stars The recipe is wonderful as is. I can't think of a single improvement and I will most likely make it again. <br /><br />3 Stars This needed a little *something*something*. I might make it again, but will add my own improvements if I do. <br /><br />I love to eat! And I love to cook. I tend to take over the kitchen when I get in there. Even the dog knows the command get outta my kitchen! LOL. Cooking for other people and trying new recipes or foods is FUN! I have a small (but growing quickly!!) cookbook collection and one of my favorite things to do is to read recipes and plan meals. Rachael Ray, Horn of the Moon and Moosewood are favorites of mine. <br /><br />We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking and backpacking. Yup. I cook in the woods too! I've made deals with my hiking buddies... If they carry in my food, I'll cook for them. I recently published a backpacking cookbook.
