Roasted Bell Pepper Dressing is fresh and delicious dressing is easy to make & flavorful. Weight Watcher friendly recipe- 3 SmartPoints!
Let’s face it, who has time to make a fancy lunch during the workweek… not me! I try to do lunch prep the night before, so that when I am ready to go to work I can just grab my lunch and be on my way. Salads are the easiest to prep the night before, and there’s nothing better than home-made salad dressing! My favorite dressing right now is my Roasted Bell Pepper Dressing. This is a Weight Watcher friendly recipe and it’s only 3 SmartPoints per serving.
For a while, I was buying salad dressing week after week. I quickly realized that it was expensive and not necessary. Making fresh salad dressing is easy! This recipe is simple, fresh, and delicious. I recommend making this on a Sunday so that you have it all ready to when you are doing your nightly lunch prep for work.
I’m all about making my own dressing and salsa. For years, I bought jarred salsa and salad dressing not knowing that I could actually make it myself. Every time I would buy a new jar, I was always excited to try it, but shocked by all the ingredients that are used in the product. Some of the ingredients I can’t even understand, most of which are added as a preservative. Now that I understand food a bit more, I just make my own salsa and salad dressing. Fresh ingredients and without preservatives!
Roasted Bell Pepper Dressing is a great, fresh and zesty homemade salad dressing perfect for any salad!
I hope you enjoy these bites of flavor!

Ingredients
- 2 Red Bell Peppers
- 3 Tablespoons Apple Cider Vinegar
- 3 Tablespoons Canola Oil
- 2 Tablespoons Honey
- 2 Cloves Garlic
- 1 Tablespoon Cilantro
- 1 Tablespoon Dried Basil
- 1 Cup Water
- 1 Tablespoons Sea Salt, to taste
- 1 Tablespoons Black Pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Pre-heat oven to 450 degrees.
- Spray baking sheet with oil and place washed bell peppers on the sheet.
- Bake peppers for 30 minutes, turning with tongs every 10 minutes.
- Pull baking sheet out of oven and check on the peppers to make sure the skin on all sides is charred. If the skin is not charred, cook in the oven for an additional 5 minutes.
- Once peppers are charred, pull out baking sheet and cover peppers with a bowl for about 20 minutes. This will "sweat" the peppers so that the skin is easily removable.
- Peel off the skin of the bell peppers, remove the stem and the seeds.
- Place bell peppers and all ingredients in a food processor and blend. If the dressing is too thick, add a few tablespoons of water.
- Store in the fridge for at least 2 hours before serving.
Notes
This dressing will stay fresh in the fridge for up to 2 weeks.
