I think the reason it is recomended to make the dips sepately and not mix them is because when you mix them together they make an very un-appetizing looking colour. Browny-grey Also, the taste definately needed extra garlic.

I made this on the weekend for guests. They loved it! The only thing I found was the peppers didn't give the dip a nice even red colour so I added a bit of food colouring.

Great party appetizer. I found the pesto flavour to be overwhelming but was well liked by my guests.

The pesto one was more popular.

I made this recipe for Father's Day and it was a hit. I did find the recipe hard to follow as most ingredients were purchased as "ml" and recipe stated "g". I still use good old cups and ounces. Please provide both measures.

Awesome recipe, made it for a party and everyone loved it!! I also added Feta cheese to add a little more flavour. It was a party favorite for sure! I will make it again for sure!

To lighten it up use low or no fat cream cheese and sour cream.
