Notes
- To make this a light lunch or grazing board, I add feta or grilled halloumi chunks and whole wheat pita wedges in addition to veggies when serving.
- This also makes a great spread for sandwiches.
- To make this recipe even quicker, use jarred roasted red bell peppers instead of making them. Make sure to check ingredients.
