Ina’s Sun-dried Tomato Dip

This stellar Sun-dried Tomato Dip has been shared with nearly every group of my friends, my book club, PTO, St. Margaret’s Guild. When I took this to a PTO board meeting while Nick was in elementary school, I had a little secret on my kitchen shelves.

It was the first Barefoot Contessa cookbook. It was referenced on the Food Network..way, way before Ina Garten had her own show.

I continued to dazzle everyone with her winning recipes…and got puzzled looks when I mentioned the name of the cookbook. But slowly my friends caught on…and soon they all had their own collection of Ina’s cookbooks. I brought this sun-dried tomato dip with a crudite platter for our New Year’s soup party…and it was no surprise that I was again asked for the recipe.

Welcome to Day #3 of Appetizer Week, a multi-blogger event co-hosted by Kim of Cravings of a Lunatic and Kristen from Frugal Antics of a Harried Homemaker. Whether you are a Broncos fan or a Seahawks fan , we wanted to make sure you had plenty of ideas for your game day spread. Each day we will be dishing up a different set of appetizers. We hope you enjoy this fabulous group of recipes. Tune in each day starting with Monday, January 20 and ending on Saturday, January 25.

How to Make Ina’s Sun-dried Tomato Dip

This sun-dried tomato dip completely made in the food processor, it’s a cinch to whip up. Sun-dried tomatoes, Tabasco (or your favorite hot sauce) and some scallions supply sensational flavors while the combo of cream cheese, mayo and sour cream provide the creamy base. You can serve this with chips, crackers or, my favorite, a slew of colorful veggies. Definitely add this easy, irresistible to your next party menu. Be prepared to hand out the recipe. I guarantee you’ll be asked for it.
