    Had this at my girlfriend's house on the 4th. WOW! Loved it so much that I made it for a BBQ at my house 2 weeks later (not the same crowd ; Anyway, so easy to make (made it the day before to save time, as BBQ's can be so time consuming! My friend made a few additions that I included as well... We added 2 roughly chopped roasted red peppers and a splash of lemon. The red peppers added a bit more flavor (and goes nicely with the sun-dried tomatoes and the lemon adds a bit of acid that compliments the dip very nicely. Served it with sea salt pita chips and baby carrots. All in a crowd pleaser, even with my 16 month-old daughter (she was sucking the dip off the pita chips!

    This is an excellent dip. My sister could not get enough of it! It has a very strong cream cheese flavor (which I love with a good hint of the tomatoes. If you want it more tomato-y, just add a few more sun-dried tomatoes. It's so good and too easy to make. Love it!

    I like to cut up the tomatoes and pulse in at the end so they are stlil a little chunky - otherwise it can look like salmon dip. everyone loves this - unique and a nice change from the typical hummus/salsa/ranch dips..

    Too strong of a mayo flavor as is. With some changes, it turned out really good. I used light sour cream, olive oil mayo, and light cream cheese. I used 1/2 cup of the tomatoes instead of 1/4. I added a splash of fresh lemon juice, an extra scallion, omitted the salt, and stirred in a dash of grated parmesan at the end.

    So, I kinda used this recipe as a base, and what a yummy base it was! I doubled the cream cheese, used 1/2 cup greek yogurt and a little log of herbed goat cheese to keep it spread worthy. Used a full cup of sundried tomatoes and then just salt and pepper. Some dashes of hot sauce, a lil tomato paste for more color and no green onions. Yummo. Had it not been for this recipe I woulda had no clue where to start!

    Here's a way to make this even more simple and delicious......increase amount of tomatoes to 1/2 cup, and leave out sour cream & mayo. And note this really doesn't need salt as the tomatoes by themselves are pretty salty. Make sure to add in oil from the tomatoes. Stir by hand, don't process in food processor for chunky texture. Let it sit in the fridge for several hours for the flavors to marry. Served with gluten free rice crackers from Costco--awesome!
