Dip Ingredients
- 1 cup Sun Dried Tomatoes drained and chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic fresh, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 cup Olive Oil high-quality for best results
- 1 tablespoon Fresh Herbs chopped basil and parsley
- 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon Salt to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon Pepper freshly ground, to taste
Preparation Steps
Begin by draining the sun-dried tomatoes if they are oil-packed. Roughly chop them to ensure they mix well in the dip.
Peel the cloves and chop the fresh garlic roughly to release its fragrant aroma.
In a food processor, combine the chopped sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, and fresh herbs. Pulse a few times until they are broken down.
With the processor running, gradually pour in the olive oil to create a smooth, creamy texture.
Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Blend until smooth, allowing the flavors to meld.
Taste your dip and adjust seasoning if needed.
For the best flavor, let your dip chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
Optional: garnish with extra fresh herbs or a drizzle of olive oil before serving.
