Sun Dried Tomato Dip

Sun Dried Tomato DipThis recipe is based off Ina Garten's recipe for Caramelized Onion Dip. I had a bunch of sun-dried tomatoes from Costco from making two recipes for the recipe swap:  Spicy Artichoke and Sun Dried Tomato Pasta and Chicken with Artichokes and Feta.  I was having my girl friends over for wine and appetizers, this was just perfect.  And as an added bonus, I got to use the fresh basil from my plant on my stoop.  It has really taken to the Houston heat and I cannot keep up with the amount of leaves it has been producing. 
Sun Dried Tomato Dip

4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
½ cup sour cream
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup sun dried tomatoes, chopped
1 tablespoon minced fresh basil
1 teaspoon kosher salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Place the cream cheese, sour cream and mayonnaise in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment and beat until smooth. Add the tomatoes and mix well. Stir in the basil. Add salt and pepper; taste for seasonings. Serve at room temperature.

When I used to have a basil plant, it grew so fast that I had to prune it and just throw away most of the leaves to keep it healthy! I guess they really love heat and sun.

Sounds yummy! I am stealing your recipe, but want to add shrimp. Sounds like it would be good with spinach, as well. Have you made any variations of this recipe?

The very next time I read a blog, I hope that it doesn't fail me just as much as this particular one. I mean, Yes, it was my choice to read, however I genuinely believed you would probably have something helpful to say. All I hear is a bunch of complaining about something you could possibly fix if you were not too busy looking for attention.
