Ingredients
- 1 cup fat free Greek yogurt
- 1 large red pepper, roasted, skinned, and roughly chopped
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1/2 Tbsp. rice vinegar
- 1 small shallot, roughly chopped
- 1/4 jalapeno (or 1/2 if you prefer extra spicy)
- 1 tsp. ground cumin
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. fresh ginger, roughly chopped
- parsley, or another green herb, for garnish
Let's go
- Preheat oven to broil or on very high heat, around 500° F.
- On a sheet tray, lined with aluminum foil, roast the red pepper, for about 6 minutes on both sides. Once it’s charred black all around, place into a bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and allow to steam (this helps the skin peel away from the flesh of the pepper), about 15-20 minutes.
- After 15 minutes, place red pepper on a cutting board, peel off skin, and roughly chop.
- Place in a food processor with all ingredients. pulse until the red peppers are very small.
- Taste and season with salt. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
