Sun Dried Tomato Dip
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
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
This dip is a little spicy with a nice tang. It’s filled with healthy veggies, and it’s nice and creamy. Perfect for eating with veggie chips
Sun Dried Tomato Dip Recipe
Sun Dried Tomato Dip
Ingredients
- ½ cup sun dried tomatoes homemade preferred, or packaged without oil, dry packed
- 8 ounces low-fat cream cheese at room temp
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ cup chili-garlic sauce
- ½ teaspoon chili powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
- ½ red bell pepper chopped
- 4 tablespoons chopped green onions plus additional for garnish
Instructions
- If using homemade sun dried tomatoes, chop into ¼ to ½ inch pieces. If using store-bought sun dried tomatoes, place tomatoes in a small bowl, and cover with 1 cup of boiling water. Allow to sit at room temperature for 10 minutes. Drain and chop tomatoes.
- In the bowl of a food processor, place softened cream cheese and pulse to make creamy. Add sour cream, chili-garlic sauce, and spices, and pulse to combine. Once everything is well mixed, add sun-dried tomatoes, red pepper, and green onions, and pulse once or twice to mix in the veggies. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

January 27, 2014 at 9:46 amI’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.
