Sun-Dried Tomato Dip
"From Vegnaomicon: The Ultimate Vegan Cookbook. This flavorful, rich red dip can be used as a sandwich spread, or as a dip with crunchy wheat crackers or pitas. Especially nice with slices of raw bell pepper or carrots! Please use sundried tomatoes that have not been packed in oil. Fresh basil leaves or roasted garlic can be added as well for a nice variation"

This was really good! We enjoyed it with chips and carrots. -
Followed your ingredients & directions right down the line (well, I substituted lemon pepper for the usual S&P, but . . .) & had for myself (AND for my small group) a GREAT TASTING DIP! Thanks for a wonderful keeper of a recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed for one of the teammates in my vegan group in the Vegetarian/Vegan Recipe Swap]
