Roasted Poblano Pepper Dip
My favorite snack is anything I can dip.
I don't know why but every since I was a little girl, I have loved eating just about anything that was a dip. This Roasted Poblano Pepper dip is definitely no exception. I love that there is a bit of a spice from the peppers but how the sweet potato offsets it just a little. The fact that there is kale in this dip, is such an added benefit! My favorite thing to dip in it is radishes, but honestly any raw veggies will do, or maybe even a splurge for some sweet potato chips.
This is a great thing to make for a party because you can make it up a day ahead as it is actually better on the second day, once the flavors have had time to marry. I hope you enjoy this little jewel of a dip as much I do.
