How to make roasted pepper dip
If you already have the vegan goat cheese available, this roasted pepper goat cheese dip is a 5 minute recipe. Sub the goat cheese for a store bought dairy free soft cheese, like a cream cheese. This recipe works with this dairy free Boursin, which is a much faster method than the goat cheese recipe.
How to serve this recipe
Serve this red pepper goat cheese dip with pretzels, crusty baguette, and fresh veggies for dipping.
I love to use this as a sandwich or wrap spread, especially good with crisp lettuces and Kentucky fried tofu.
If you add water to thin the consistency of this dip, it makes a tasty salad dressing. I make a salad dressing from this roasted garlic white bean dip, and it is so good.

I'm starting to question if Tony is an engineer trapped in an artist's body...;)
I am, in fact, the personal assistant.
I hope you have an incredible weekend!
Kristina Sloggett says
ha! if so, he is one of the RARE engineers with a personality, like Jason. and my Dad. okay, maybe not so rare... 😉
jobo says
ha! I love that story! I don't remember stuff when I am staring right at it sometimes!! And I want a soda stream! for seltzer water!! This dip looks amazingly good. pinning 🙂
Kristina Sloggett says
I hope you make this one, it is GOOOOOD 😉
Beth @ Tasty Yummies says
This dip looks so amazing! I am with you, there are tasks and other things best left for a "professional" to take care of, and then your time is better spent doing what you do best. Owning our own business has made this more apparent then ever before for me, we had an assistant in NY before we moved here to CA for a lot of that stuff and it was awesome. We may have to find one again out here very soon. Something that came with our amazing new home though, that we have realized is pretty priceless: gardeners. They come by once a week and tend to EVERYTHING outside. That gives us back tons of time each week and they do a way better job than we ever could.
Kristina Sloggett says
right? freeing you up to do what you do best... THIS is what I need!
oh, gardening and yard care YES... we DO have this because I am afraid of spiders 😉
SprungAtLast says
Wow, two of my favorite things rolled into one ... I've pinned this, can't wait to try it!
Kristina Sloggett says
enjoy!!
Lauren @ Oatmeal after Spinning says
The combo of goat cheese and red peppers is a favorite of mine. And, I missed the recipe for vegan goat cheese- I will definitely be checking that out!
Kristina Sloggett says
I know, the tangy with the sorta spicy sweet just go together so well!
Laura @ Sprint 2 the Table says
My friend that guest blogs (Kat) pays someone to grocery shop for her. I think she's insane... but I pay someone to clean my (small) condo. 🙂
Love that your friend wanted to make this dip with you. I have a couple of friends that ask me to do that a lot. It's so cute! Plus it's fun to be in the kitchen sharing an idea with a friend.
Abby says
I actually do the grocery shopping for my mom and uncle (they physically can't) and would LOVE to do that for a living! 🙂
Kristina Sloggett says
I love that you do this for them (I always enjoyed doing it for my Dad when he was eating).
Kristina Sloggett says
see, I understand both of these things! well, I really enjoy grocery shopping, but there have been times in my past where I have used a grocery delivery service and it is SO efficient when you are busy! and paying someone to clean my house? YES please, every time. 😉
Liz (Little Bitty Bakes) says
Mmm! I don't think you can go wrong with roasted red peppers, goat cheese, or capers, all on their own... so together, I'm sure it's a killer dip!
Kristina Sloggett says
it is SO tasty, Liz!
Allie says
Forget needing an assistant--I'd love to BE one! I love organizing things, running errands, doing odd jobs and house chores. Yup, personal assistant would sort of be my dream job. I'm an odd one. I guess I just need to find myself a wealthy engineer 🙂 And a soda machine! I spend way too much (and use way too many plastic bottles) due to my seltzer addiction. What kind do you have? Would you recommend it?
Kristina Sloggett says
we have one of the Soda Steams - and YES I would very highly recommend it! I do not drink flavored sodas, but I love my soda water - I drink it like water a lot, I love the bubbles. They pay for themselves in several ways fairly quickly if you are a big soda drinker - not only do they have healthier options if you actually like flavored, but it saves the bottles going to a landfill AND is cheaper than buying each bottle...
and seriously, you should look into it, there just might be opportunities for personal assistant jobs - either in a large corporation like Jasons, or privately? I can see how that would be a fun job!
Allie says
Yeah, I pretty much only hydrate on plain bubbly water at home--I don't like soda-soda or flavored waters, but I love the bubbles, and it's such a waste to buy the individual bottles. Thanks for the review, I've been thinking about getting on for a while now!
And oh man, I wish I knew where to start looking! Good idea to see what large corporations are offering, I had no idea they hired personal-life-assistants!
Heather (Where's the Beach) says
I think you absolutely deserve to splurge on someone to clean your house for you right now so you can enjoy the most important things - time with your dad and Jason. Or you just forgo the soda and clean bathrooms and make great food!
Kristina Sloggett says
I'm seriously considering it, I like a clean house and mine is ... not so much right now 😉 thanks for reiterating what is actually important - as things progress with Dad, all I want to do is sit there next to him.
Abby says
Thank you for the shout-out! As you know, I'm going to be the first in line to send my resume when you decide to hire an assistant. The good thing for you is that I'm highly vegan-food motivated, so we can totally work out a barter system--starting with this dip 😉
And I think the important point, in all seriousness, is priorities. Spending time with those you love ranks above a spotless house and perfect yard. It's a balance, and we make time for what's important.
lindsay says
can i get in on this? I'd rather be an assistant even though I need one myself. and i 'd rather be your assistant.
p.s.
So with you on the soda machine. I can't be bothered with those for that very reason.
Kristina Sloggett says
I actually LOVE my soda machine, LOVE it - and the benefits far outweigh my inability to actually get it filled right now 😉 but yeah... we have a store-bought bottle of soda in the fridge right now *sigh*
Kristina Sloggett says
and you would be hired On The Spot, my friend!
it is good to hear people agree with my current thinking - spending time with Dad and Jason (who is also incredibly busy right now, our time is invaluable right now).
