This Sun Dried Tomato Dip is a little spicy with a nice tang. It’s filled with healthy veggies, and it’s nice and creamy.

It’s perfect for eating with veggie chips, crackers, tortilla chips, or sticks of veggies. And, it won’t break your calorie bank!

dip in a white bowl with veggie chips

Made with homemade sun dried tomatoes

Last month I made my own Homemade Sun Dried Tomatoes for the first time. And, they were awesome!

The recipe made a ton of sun-dried tomatoes, and I used them for three different recipes: Sun Dried Tomato Pesto Pasta, Spicy Sausage, Baby Potatoes, and Snap Peas, and this Sun Dried Tomato Dip.

I left my tomatoes on the moist side rather than making them super dried. If you’re making this recipe with dry-packed store-bought sun dried tomatoes you’ll want to soften them first. Here’s how… place dried tomatoes in a small bowl, and cover with 1 cup of boiling water. Allow to stand at room temperature for 10 minutes. Drain and proceed with the recipe.

The food processor is my kitchen helper of choice for this because it makes short work of the dip, everything is nice and thoroughly combined, and the dip is super creamy! If you don’t have a food processor, you may also make this using a hand mixer or mix by hand using a sturdy fork.

    Absolutely delicious..can we freeze it? Also for how long would it stay good in the refrigerator.

    I’ve never frozen sour cream, but the other ingredients would freeze just fine. I’d think it would freeze just fine; if you try it let me know how well it works for you. I’m curious! And, as far as how long it would keep in the fridge will depend on the ingredients you use; check the packages of sour cream and cream cheese for the expiration dates. That’ll tell you how long you can keep it in the fridge. A little hint: organic dairy foods last a lot longer than non-organic dairy foods. Thanks for the comment.

    Sun Dried tomatoes always add a chewy layer of flavor to dishes. Love the spices that give this dip some much zestiness.
