If using dry-packed sundried tomatoes, rehydrate them by soaking in hot water for 10 minutes, then drain and pat dry with paper towels.
Add the sundried tomatoes, low-fat plain Greek yogurt, and softened low-fat cream cheese to a food processor or blender.
Blend the mixture until smooth, scraping down the sides as needed to ensure everything combines evenly.
Add in the minced garlic, chopped basil leaves, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and ground black pepper. Blend again until the flavors are fully incorporated and the spread is creamy.
Taste the spread and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your preference.
Transfer the sundried tomato spread to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled or at room temperature with crackers, vegetable sticks, or use as a spread for sandwiches and wraps.
