Sun-dried Tomato and Red Pepper Dip
Â鶹ÊÓƵ
This creamy dip is a great way to add legumes (and protein and fiber!) to your diet. It is a healthier alternative to sour cream- based dips. Serve with vegetables and whole wheat pita bread wedges for a colorful appetizer.

- 2-1/2 cups
Ingredients:
- 1 jar (12 oz) roasted red peppers, drained
- 1 can (15 oz) white beans, rinsed and drained
- 10 marinated sun-dried tomato halves, drained, coarsely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves, chopped
- 3 Tbsp plain Greek yogurt
- 1 tsp dry oregano
- 1 tsp ground cumin
- 1/4 tsp. ground chili powder

Instructions:
- Place roasted red peppers in food processor or blender and purée.
- Add white beans, sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, Greek yogurt, oregano, cumin and chili powder.
