This creamy dip is delicious while still being healthier than many dips prepared with cream cheese or mayonnaise. Bring it to a picnic, a potluck, or serve the red pepper-flecked dip at a backyard party this summer. Serve with our Parmesan Pita Crisps and a veggie tray, and you’ll have a crowd around that part of the table. The dip also makes a great sandwich spread.
