Tasty Tips:

  • We love these warm, charred peppers dipped in a creamy dressing, such as Kowalski’s Signature Fresh Mexi-Ranch Salad Dressing from the Produce Department or Kowalski’s Signature Southwestern Dip from the Deli Grab & Go Case.
  • You can also blister shishito peppers on the grill over medium-high heat, depending on your grill and the size of the peppers. Cook them over direct heat right on the grates, in a cast iron skillet or on a griddle.
