Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Dip

It’s been a while since I’ve had some time to play around in the kitchen. Over the weekend I made this dip for a lunch party. It was a completely make-as-you-go type of cooking adventure. It ended with a simple but delish, light and fluffy dip that I couldn’t stop eating. Warning- you may find it addictive as well.

(Bad lighting in my kitchen made this look rather yellow. It's not like this in real life!)

Creamy Sun Dried Tomato Dip
1 block or pack tofu extra firm

5 oz sun dried tomatoes in oil
1 clove garlic
1 tsp lemon juice
1 Tbsp dried basil
Salt/Pepper

Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until desire consistency. For a smoother, more liquid spread, add water or the oil from the sun dried tomatoes until you reach the desired consistency.

This would probably be great with pita chips or broccoli, any vegetable really. I had snow peas which tasted delicious, or my personal favorite, eating it by the spoon- although that’s extremely dangerous (I could have eaten the whole jar)!

Enjoy!
