This pesto pasta salad with asparagus and sun-dried tomato recipe is based on a very ...

Last week this was a red bell pepper and I saw it was starting to go old, so I knew I had to come up with something quickly to make sure it wouldn’t go to waste. This is how my red bell pepper dip recipe was born!
