This dip had good flavor, however, I found it to be a little soupy. It worked good as a spread for the mini turkey focaccia sandwiches, but I can't see using it as a dip for veggies, etc. Next time I will try it with real cream cheese instead of the 1/3 less fat cream cheese.

AWESOME! They serve a dip like this at The Rusty Skupper Restaurant at the Inner Harbor in Baltimore Md, with ciabatta bread. I don't add the almonds and I'd try it before adding the basil. I like the true red pepper taste and even though I love basil, it changes the flavor of this dip. I serve it with ciabatta bread cut up or Utz Wheel Pretzels for just a snack for the family. This is a great dip that gets eaten up within minutes. It's so different and if you like red or green peppers, you'll LOVE this!

Great tasting and simple to make! This was my first home made dip and I used it on the "Mini Turkey Focaccia Sandwiches" recipe. Will be making this again!
