"Afternoon gals! I post a lot of healthy dip ideas here on the blog because I think they&amp;#x27;re the perfect (or close to it) snack: good source of veggies/herbs (at least the ones I suggest!), protein and fiber, without sugar or much saturated fat. So, darlings, here is a new recipe that I think you will love. Bonus: You can make a batch and keep it in your office fridge for a week of snacking ... I&amp;#x27;m loving the idea of WholeLiving.com&amp;#x27;s Spicy Red Pepper and Walnut Dip. Here&amp;#x27;s their droolworthy description: &amp;quot;Tomato paste and charred red peppers provide an ancho-spiced dip with layers of flavor in addition to cancer-fighting carotenoids; almonds and walnuts provide the smoky mixture with protein and unsaturated (&amp;quot;good&amp;quot;) fat.&amp;quot; Spicy Red Pepper and Walnut Dip Recipe courtesy of WholeLiving.com (Makes 2 and 1/4 cup; 6 servings) Ingredients: 2 red bell peppers 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar 1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped shallot 1 tablespoon tomato paste 1 garlic clove 1/4 cup blanched almonds, toasted 1/4 cup walnuts, toasted 1 dried ancho chile 1 whole-wheat baguette (9 ounces), cut into 1/4-inch-thick slices and toasted Preparation: Place bell peppers directly over the flame of a gas-stove burner on high heat or on a grill. Roast peppers, turning with tongs, until blackened all over. (Alternatively, broil peppers on a baking sheet, turning occasionally.) Put peppers into a bowl; cover with plastic wrap. Let stand 15 minutes. Remove skin and seeds. Pulse peppers, vinegar, shallot, tomato paste, garlic, nuts, and chile in a food processor until coarsely combined. Transfer to a bowl. Serve with toasted baguette. Dip can be refrigerated in an airtight container up to 3 days; bring to room temperature before serving. Enjoy! P.S. Lots more healthy dip ideas from Vitamin G, here.
