For many, a flavorful dressing is what turns a bowl full of plain greens and veggies into a palatable meal. When oil and vinegar or fresh lemon juice doesn’t quite do it, add some extra flare by making this simple roasted red pepper dressing. It combines the smoky flavors of paprika and cayenne with garlic and sweet honey for great-tasting salad topper! Omit the water and you can serve it up as a fresh dip with cucumber slices and broccoli florets.
