After reading through the recipe, I thought I would like this but knew 2 cloves of garlic and 3/4 tsp. salt seemed heavy handed, at least for my tastes. I used one clove of garlic and 1/2 tsp. salt and was very glad I made those adjustments. I think this is an "either you like it or you don't" kind of recipe, no in between. Hubby said it was ok, but nothing special. But the fact that he only tried one taste and didn't go back for more spoke more accurately--he didn't care for this at all. While I liked it a little better than he did, I don't believe I'd make a point of making this again. A bit lacking in flavor, this was nothing extraordinary or memorable.

I omitted the mayo and can only imagine it would have been even worse!

Apart from the garlic this recipe is fantastic. I used fresh garlic and it was way too strong!

Very tasty! I didn't have any fresh basil (unfortunately) so I used some prepared pesto in place of the basil and the garlic. It turned out great! It's a very thick spread - it would be great on a toasted bagel!

This dip was EXCELLENT! It was a hit! I would definitely try regular mayonnaise instead of a Miracle Whip style dressing if you don't like tangy and let it sit overnight to let the flavours blend in.

I brought this dip to a dinner party, and all 6 people absolutely loved it. There was not a drop left! I increased the sun-dried tomatoes to 1/3 cup, used garlic powder equivalent to 1 clove, and used salt and pepper to taste since the tomatoes are already salty. I made a day ahead, and was thrilled with the results. You should not leave out the fresh basil as suggested by some reviewers, as it is an important taste in this delicious and EASY recipe.

I have made a version of this, add 1/2 cup black olives, the ones in brine, and do 1/2 feta and 1/2 cream cheese, (leave out the mayo) it isn't pretty but it tastes fantastic. Instead of mixing all the ingredients together, you can do the cheeses together and then do the tomatoes, olives, and garlic with a bit of olive oil and have it dripping over the top of the cheese, add a bit of fresh green basil to make it pop and it will look and taste great.

Fair. DIdn't have slot much of a tomato flavor -- it is also hard to chop up sun-dried tomatos- added more basil ( I used the dried basil and it worked) -- Have had better dips by far.

Very good. Would make an excellent bagel spread. I used light cream cheese and cut back on the garlic. Delicious.

This is delicious! Much better than a store bought dip. I doubled the amount of sun-dried tomatoes and used garlic powder. Real garlic can be too strong when it is not cooked. Added salt and pepper to taste and omitted the hot sauce. Hard to stop eating! Thanks for sharing!!

this went untouched at our superbowl party. The pepper seemed to overpower the other flavors. Otherwise it was bland. Maybe if I had made it the night before the flavors would have been better. I won't make this again.

This dip is always a hit. Make sure you make it ahead of time. It's much better if it's allowed to sit overnight.

I used 1 cup of sundried tomatoes - it was way too delicate with 1/4 cup! I also just put in the sourcream & mayo to taste. Great recipe idea, thanks!
