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!
