24 servings

An easy Marinated Cheese appetizer with herbs and roasted red peppers. Perfect for the holidays, with a marinade that doubles as a tasty salad dressing!

Ingredients
1 lemon (juiced and zested, $0.64)
½ cup olive oil ($1.39)
2 Tbsp red wine vinegar ($0.18)
2 tsp Dijon mustard ($0.04)
3 garlic cloves (minced, (½ Tbsp total) $0.12)
½ Tbsp fresh rosemary (stems removed, $0.44*)
2 Tbsp fresh parsley ($0.10)
½ tsp salt ($0.01)
¼ tsp chili flakes ($0.06)
1 tsp granulated sugar ($0.01)
8 oz. extra sharp cheddar (8 oz. block, sliced, $1.97)
8 oz. pepperjack cheese (8 oz. block, sliced, $1.97)
4 oz. cream cheese (frozen and sliced, $1.76)
6 oz. roasted red peppers (half a 12 oz. jar, $1.06)
Instructions
1 Gather all your ingredients.
2 Zest and juice a lemon.
3 Combine olive oil, lemon juice and zest, red wine vinegar, Dijon, minced garlic, rosemary, parsley, salt, chili flakes, and granulated sugar.
4 Slice cheeses into ¼ inch slices and chop roasted red peppers. I find the cream cheese is easier to cut when it's a little frozen.
5 Arrange sliced cheese in an 8x8 baking pan or casserole dish however you like.** Add sliced roasted bell peppers on top and pour the dressing all over everything.
6 Cover with plastic wrap and put it in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve. This can be made up to one day in advance!***
7 Remove plastic wrap to serve. I like to serve this with cheese forks and a butter knife so people can easily dress a cracker with the sliced cheese or the cream cheese.
