Sometimes all you crave is healthy food, but planning for it can be such a pain. Nip that negative thinking in the bud this week and whip up a batch or two of this Creamy Goat Cheese + Roasted Red Pepper Dressing. And then check out these 5 fun, simple and tasty meal ideas below inspired by this one simple dressing.
Creamy Goat Cheese + Roasted Red Pepper Dressing
Makes just over 1/4 cup
Ingredients
1/2 cup roasted red peppers (try peppadew peppers if you can find them)
1 ½ – 2 ounces herbed goat cheese
2 tablespoons of dill
1 tablespoon good olive oil
1 tablespoon filtered water
Sea salt, pepper to taste
1 ½ – 2 ounces herbed goat cheese
2 tablespoons of dill
1 tablespoon good olive oil
1 tablespoon filtered water
Sea salt, pepper to taste
Directions
In a food processor combine the peppers, goat cheese, dill, olive oil and water. Blend well. Add touch of sea salt and pepper to taste.
Notes: Use any remaining dill chopped up in a salad or consider making fresh pressed juice! This Frothy Pink Tomato Juice would be a good one.

- Crudite dip. Use this dressing as a dip for your favorite farmer’s market fare.
- Spread on toast. This thick, creamy spread would be delicious on a piece of sprouted grain toast. Enjoy it spread on toast with a simply dressed salad for lunch or even as a healthier alternative to your bagel and cream cheese breakfast.
- Collard wrap. Toss this creamy dressing in a collard wrap for a healthy afternoon snack instead of that pretzel habit you have been trying to break.
- Salad dressing. You could also consider adding an additional ½ – 1 tablespoon of olive oil and using this dressing in a salad. Just take the dressing in a Ball jar to work, toss it in the fridge, and give that office salad the spicing up it deserves. After all, a girl can’t live on bottled dressings alone.
- Compliment brown rice or quinoa dishes. I also love this creamy goat cheese dressing mixed into a serving of brown rice or quinoa to pump up the flavor profile.
