Ingredients

• 2 red bell peppers
• 2 garlic cloves
• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
• Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Cut the red bell peppers in half and remove the seeds and stems.
3. Place the bell pepper halves, skin side up, on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Roast the peppers in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the skins are charred and blistered.
5. Remove the peppers from the oven and immediately transfer them to a bowl. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and let the peppers steam for about 10 minutes. This will make it easier to peel off the skins.
6. Once the peppers have cooled slightly, remove the skins by gently peeling them off. They should come off easily.
7. Place the roasted peppers, garlic cloves, olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, honey, dried oregano, dried basil, salt, and pepper in a blender or food processor.
8. Blend until smooth and creamy.
9. Taste and adjust the seasonings if needed.
10. Transfer the dressing to a jar or container and refrigerate until ready to use.
11. Serve the Roasted Red Pepper Dressing over your favorite salads and enjoy!
