The trifecta for a perfect appetizer – simple, easy and outrageously delicious!

By: Jodie Shield, RD

My husband and I play in a really fun and competitive mixed doubles tennis group.  After each match, we head over to somebody’s house for dinner and everybody brings an appetizer.  This is where the culinary competition begins!  Hands down, our friend, Nedra, wins the prize for the world’s best appetizer. (She’s a great tennis player, too!)  Her specialty is Roasted Pepper and Goat Cheese Dip. It’s so amazing and always the first appetizer devoured.  In fact, you know how everybody leaves at least one bite just to be polite, not with Nedra’s dip!   I begged her for the recipe and she said she was too embarrassed to share it because get this – it is so easy!   She just tosses some of those cute little mini tri-color peppers on the grill earlier in the day, slices them into thin strips, tops them with bruschetta and goat cheese, and bakes them for a few minutes in the oven.  The trifecta for a perfect appetizer – simple, easy and outrageously delicious!  Nedra you go girl!
