- 1 tablespoon granulated sugar
- ¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional, for added spice)

- Initial Pulse: Pulse the mixture for about 10 to 15 seconds to start breaking down the ingredients.

- Blend to Smoothness: Continue blending until the mixture reaches a smooth and creamy consistency, ensuring all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Chill and Add Spice: Transfer the dip to a bowl, stir in red pepper flakes if using, cover, and refrigerate for one hour to allow flavors to meld and chill.

- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes based on your desired spice level or omit for a milder dip.
- The dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- For extra smoky flavor, use fire-roasted red peppers.
