Hello Foodies!
Here is another pepper dip recipe for you all. Mint and cilantro pepper dip. My grandma called me over to go pick some of her fresh cilantro and mint in her garden and it smelled so good I started to crave mint pepper dip. Organic homegrown cilantro and mint is so much sweeter, more fragrant, and earthier than most herbs you typically buy at the grocery store. If you know what I’m talking about you know 🙂 So I wanted to share with you all one of my favorite herb pepper dip during this time of year. Mint and cilantro pepper dip. Sounds weird? Sure! But it sure does taste amazing if you haven’t tried it yourself. It goes great with poached meat especially poached chicken and sticky rice. A very simple pepper dip, but also very addicting with meat and rice. SOOOO GOOD! So give it a try and let me know if you like it. 🙂
