Why you'll love Sun Dried Tomato Dip:

Are you sick of the same old hummus? You need to try this dip recipe instead!

Ina Garten has a popular Sun Dried Tomato Dip made with cream cheese, mayo and sun dried tomatoes. My version is healthier and dare I say... even more tasty!

It's super flavorful. The mix of sun dried tomatoes, fresh basil, feta cheese, extra virgin olive oil and spices tastes like no other dip you've tasted.

This recipe is super easy to double for a larger crowd. If you want to make this for a get together or party, double the recipe. You can even triple the recipe.

Ingredients in sun dried tomato dip.

Ingredients:

  • canned cannellini beans (rinsed and drained)
  • cottage cheese
  • crumbled feta cheese

  • fresh lemon juice
  • extra virgin olive oil - Good quality olive oil is key!
  • cold water 
  • salt and pepper
  • dried oregano

Use more or less sun dried tomatoes depending on how much you like the flavor and how large the tomatoes are. Start with less and you can always add more.

Add more water or olive oil if you want the dip to have a thinner consistency.

    Great recipe! I only needed to increase the seasonings to my preference and food-process the heck out of it to get the smooth consistency I like. It only improves with a day or two in the fridge. Great with homemade pita, naan or tortilla chips (or veggies). Going into my regular rotation and will double next time. Thanks for another good one!
