Store bought spreads and purees can not only get expensive but often they are loaded with unnecessary fats, calories, sugars and even trans fats. Save your money and calories and try this Walnut Bell Pepper Spread that is sure to satisfy both your diet and tastebuds. It goes great on anything from egg whites to lean protein dishes and even great on salads or eaten as is. This is also a great alternative to fattening dips or sandwich spreads. I even suggest using this as a mayonnaise substitute! This is how we are able to make “eating clean a little more tasty” and a part of our Lifestyle Balance Plan!
Enjoy!
