Roasted Sweet Red Pepper Spread

This Roasted Sweet Red Pepper Spread happens to be a good appetizer for those who are counting their calories.

It’s low in fat and calories and has minimal Weight Watchers points.

I like to sneak in a little feta cheese when I’m dunking celery.

P.S. This recipe makes enough for a crowd, and it happens to taste a lot like pizza!
