Roasted Red Pepper Dip Recipe

Recipe:

Dip

Step 1: Mix all ingredients together in a bowl, or combine in a food processor. Garnish with crumbled feta if desired.

Pita Chips

Step 1: Rip pita in half along the seams. Stack on counter with insides facing up. Cut rounds into eighths.

Step 2: Arrange wedges on a baking sheet. Drizzle with oil and season with salt, pepper and za’atar.

Step 3: Place on cookie sheet, put under the broiler and toast until browned. This happens quickly so keep an eye on them. Toss around so evenly toasted. Serve in a bowl alongside feta dip.
