I made also as listed, but found it way too salty! Which is weird because I am an unofficial salt addict...actually wait I lied I had to use dry herbs instead of the fresh, so that probably added to this low rating. With that said i think i might try it again with fresh herbs but definietly will use the salt to taste...

I couldn't find sundried tomatoes when I went to the store so I made some modifications and it turned out pretty darn good. Instead of sundried tomatoes I did a can of regular diced tomatoes and a can of spicy tomatoes- jalopenos added. Then I added taco seasoning to taste and a touch of Old Bay. I reduced the garlic and kicked up the pepper a few notches and it made it into a nice southwest taco dip.

Very good! Very Easy! I too used 1/3 cup of tomatoes and only half of the garlic and it turned out perfect. Made this for a baby shower and there was only a little leftover. Will definitely make again!

Very quick and easy. I used fresh (just made them today) sun-dried tomatoes- so no oil. I put in very little salt, dried basil, garlic powder, and 1 1/4 cups of sun-dried tomatoes. That was just about right. Still not too heavy on the tomatoes flavor- just right. Spicy!

Did not care for this at all. Texture was odd and the taste a little over bearing.

Good dip, I am not a huge fan of sun dried tomatoes, but had some in the house that i was going to use for another recipe but decided to try this for a party i was having this weekend. Everyone liked it. Thanks for the recipe.

As written the recipe only yields 3 stars. I love garlic and always add more but didn't here and it was strong. I only made a half batch and it was tons. So with one clove of garlic 4oz of cream cheese and half of everything else it was lack except in the garlic flavour. This is a sun-dried tomato dip with hardly any sun-dried tomato taste. In all I used a 1/2 cup of sun-dried tomatoes in my half batch when the original only called for a 1/4cup. That's for times more. Then it was great and everyone loved it though it was still heavy on garlic.

EXCELLENT!!! Big hit at party's. I used Mike's Spicey Buffalo sause for the hot sause. Not too spicey and not too mild. Puts a nice sweet sour taste to it. Had every one asking for the recipe!!!!!!!!

We used one garlic clove and could have cut down on the salt. We also used non-fat cream cheese, low-fat sour cream and light mayo. It was delicious!

This was OK, but not something I could get really excited about. One garlic clove was definitely enough. I served it at a party, and one guest did comment that he really liked it, but it didn't disappear as other appetizers did.

Fantastic! Everyone that had it loved it. Even people who normally wouldn't eat sun dried tomato liked it. I was asked to make it for an office christmas party and I cann't wait to hear the comments of everyone. Will keep you post it. I definitely recommend this recipe.

I took this to a party last night and it was a hit! Made changes suggested by others. Doubled the sun-dried tomatoes, only 1 clove of garlic. Also used 3/4 cup sour cream and no mayo (did not have). It is thick, more of a spread than a dip. Will definitely make this again. thanks!

should change the name to garlic basil spread. I sure couldn't taste the tomato and the basil dominated and it was too thick to be called dip. even using heavy duty crackers. I will not be wasting my time and money on this recipe again.

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.
