Roasted bell pepper dip, tasty zero oil healthy dip recipe. This is a perfect dip that goes well with kebabs and cutlets.
I have seen this dip in Sahana’s Instagram page a few days back. We had guests at home for the past 2 weekends. So I tried this as a dip or starters for kebab and cutlet. It was a super hit among our guests. Later the leftover I used as a salad dressing and we loved it too. You can serve this with cut carrots and cucumber as a healthy snack.
The color of the dip depends on the deep red color of the red capsicum. I have given some variations in the notes section. So please check till the end of the post and see the tips.
