  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons smoky paprika (substitute 1 teaspoon chipotle in adobo sauce if you can't find smoky paprika)

Smokey Ranch Dip:

Put all of the ingredients, except bell pepper, into a mixing bowl and whisk until well mixed. Refrigerate until ready to use. Scoop into a hollowed out bell pepper to serve.

Veggie Basket:

Bring a large pot of boiling salted water to a boil.

    I made this with roasted veggies and it was a hit! I cut the recipe in half as there was only 5 of us and there was plenty. This would also be delicious with onion rings!

    I did use a lot less salt but still really did not like this dip. Felt it was somewhat bland and flavors did not meld well. I threw it out.
