Recipe Ideas: RED PEPPER CHEESE BALL MIX

Use as an easy-to-prepare dip or appetiser for friends, or as a useful standby for a quick pasta supper.

• Make a warm dip: mix the seasoning packet with cream cheese, then microwave gently.

• Use the prepared cheese mix to stuff cherry tomatoes, or as the filling for tortilla wraps or a roulade made with smoked salmon.

• Make an alternative dip using a 50:50 blend of mayonnaise and sour cream and serve in half a red pepper with vegetable sticks.

• Blend the seasoning with 2 tablespoons of warm water and 4 tbsp of olive oil for a speedy nut-free red pepper pesto.
