Red Pepper Jalapeno Cheese Dip

3 Comments

Jump to Recipe - Print Recipe

Red Pepper Jalapeno Cheese Dip

The heat from this fresh, creamy dip can be adjusted by adding more or less of the seeds and membranes in the jalapeno. This can be tricky because heat can vary from jalapeno to jalapeno and you definitely want a little kick here even if you’re prone to tongue slapping fits from just the slightest amount of capsaicin (which is good for you, by the way). When you sauté the peppers and garlic together at the beginning, this step helps blend the flavors and mellow the heat of the jalapeno. Also, if you don’t have smoked paprika, get some! The difference between smoked paprika and regular paprika is significant.

Add some sliced vegetables, chips, quesadillas or baguette slices around this colorful dip.

    This looks amazing!!! I’m trying to eat healthier and trying not to eat tortilla chips as much. I love you idea of serving this with raw veggies.

    This was delicious and so easy! I used 1/8 tsp of salt because my tortilla chips were already salty. Thanks for sharing this awesome recipe with us Sally!
