How to Make This Delicious Party Dip

  1. Prepare the Ingredients – Start by chopping the roasted red peppers and mincing the garlic.
  2. Mix the Base – In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, Parmesan cheese, and minced garlic. Stir until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the Flavor – Mix in the roasted red peppers, lemon juice, smoked paprika, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir everything together until well-combined.
  4. Chill and Serve – For the best flavor, let the dip chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. However, if you’re in a rush, it’s still delicious right away!
  5. Garnish – Just before serving, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley or basil for a pop of color and added freshness.
  6. Serve – Put this out with your favorite dippers—chips, crackers, or fresh veggies—and watch it disappear in no time!
