Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sun-dried tomatoes (packed in oil)
- 8 ounces Cream cheese (softened)
- 0.5 cup Greek yogurt (plain, full-fat)
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil (chopped)
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Drain the excess oil from the sun-dried tomatoes but leave a small amount for added flavor. Pat them dry using paper towels.
In a food processor, combine the sun-dried tomatoes, softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, and minced garlic.
Pulse the ingredients until a smooth and creamy consistency is achieved. Scrape down the sides of the food processor as needed.
Add the chopped fresh basil, grated Parmesan cheese, olive oil, and lemon juice to the mixture.
Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Pulse a few more times until everything is well incorporated.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if needed by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to preference.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and garnish with a sprinkle of chopped basil or a drizzle of olive oil, if desired.
Serve immediately with crackers, fresh vegetables, or crusty bread. Alternatively, store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
