This creamy cauliflower based dip is so delicious you'd never guess it to be low fat! Delicious as a dip for veggies, pita chips, pretzels, etc. It is also fantastic used in wraps and as a sandwich spread. (great flavourful alternative to mayo!) This is also a great way to sneak some veggies to your kids when served with crackers or chips. :)

BEST LOW FAT ROASTED RED PEPPER DIP



Best Low Fat Roasted Red Pepper Dip image

This recipe works best in the food processor. I find that this recipe is grainy if you use roasted red peppers from a jar. This dip goes well with tortilla chips, raw vegetables, or even as a replacement for mayonnaise on your favorite sandwich. Every time I make this, at least 1 person asks for the recipe!

BASIL PARMESAN DIP (COOKING LIGHT)



Basil Parmesan Dip (Cooking Light) image

This addictive dip is from the July '09 Cooking Light issue. I served this for dipping with pita chips and also with bread cubes. It makes a WONDERFUL sandwich spread - we put it on a turkey sandwich. The original recipe didn't call for the olive oil; I decided to add it since it only adds about 1 fat gram per 2 tablespoon serving. So you can certainly leave it out if you're watching fat grams.
