5 ounces basil pesto
1 cup sun-dried tomato, drained, chopped

Tips:

  • Season to taste. Add salt and pepper to taste, and adjust the amount of lemon juice and olive oil as needed.
  • Serve with your favorite dippers. This dip is great with pita chips, crackers, vegetables, or even grilled chicken or fish.
  • Make ahead of time. This dip can be made up to 2 days ahead of time. Store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature before serving.
