I am one of those people who immediately go searching to see if there’s a food or kitchen section in any store they visit. I love to try new flavors and am sucker for gadgets. Recently, I dragged my husband, Matthew, to World Market in search of bamboo cocktail picks, and instead came home with bags of discounted gourmet crackers, olives and spreads. While looking around, I saw a packet of seasoning mix for sun dried tomato dip. I didn’t buy the mix, but once I got home it got me thinking about how I could make my own recipe.
HOW TO MAKE SUN DRIED TOMATO DIP
Talk about simple! There is nothing more to making this dip than throwing the ingredients into the food processor and giving it a whirl. If you don’t have a food processor, the blender will work too!
- Start by chopping up the green onions and sun dried tomatoes and adding them to the food processor. This recipe was tested with the tomatoes that are packed dry, not packed in oil from a jar. I like to buy them this way because the opened package can sit on a shelf, and not take up space in the refrigerator.
- Add the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, sriracha and spices. Because it’s being blended together, there’s no need to let the cream cheese soften up before using it either!
- Blend together until smooth and serve!
*Dip can be made a few days ahead of serving. Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to one week.
CAN I USE REDUCED FAT INGREDIENTS?
Yes, absolutely! To reduce fat and calories, this dip can be made with reduced-fat cream cheese and sour cream. You can also substitute light mayonnaise for regular. I have tested this recipe using all reduced-fat ingredients (that’s what I usually buy) and it is amazing. I don’t recommend using fat-free ingredients because the dip may not blend well and separate.
