Serves 2-4
\nIngredients:<\/strong>
\n1 medium green bell pepper
\n1 medium red bell pepper
\n1\/4 cup sliced almonds
\n4 ounces non-fat, plain Greek yogurt
\n1 teaspoon no-salt lemon pepper seasoning blend
\n1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice

\n5. Process the remaining almonds in a food processor or blender for 15 to 20 seconds, or until finely ground.
\n6. In a medium mixing bowl, mix the Greek yogurt, lemon pepper seasoning blend, and lemon juice with spoon until creamy. Add the ground almonds until combined.
\n7. Spoon the mixture into a piping bag fitted with a wide star or round tip. Or snip the corner off a resealable plastic bag (a plastic freezer bag works well) and spoon in the mixture.
\n8. Pipe about 1 teaspoon of the mixture onto each bell pepper piece. Garnish with the sliced almonds.<\/p>\n
