I thought this was a great dip! I did take the suggestion from another reviewer and added garlic (1 clove), salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper. I served it with Melba toast.

Great treat (non-sugary for a change!) for Hubs to take to the office that came together in a snap. I used the package of cream cheese as called for, but only added the other ingredients to taste, using somewhat less than called for and a small clove of minced garlic. I pulsed it in the food processor just long enough so that it was still "whitish" but with flecks of the tomatoes and basil. Beautiful. Delicious too. I served it with homemade crostini (cut small baguettes into 1/4" slices, brush each side lightly with olive oil. Season lightly with salt and pepper or garlic salt, if desired, and a dusting of freshly grated Parmesan. Bake at 375* until golden brown.)

This tasted great the second time I made it, I had glanced at the recipe and bought sun dried tomatoes but not in oil. My husband blended the ingredients and it was super salty. Then we looked at what we did wrong. Make sure to wash the tomatoes that aren't in oil if you happen to get the ones in a bag and not in oil. OK, we made it again and it was a HIT. Use the tomatoes in oil. It was so freakin' good. So easy and people thought it was some high falootin' recipe. So thank you for posting this.

I served this at a ladies' luncheon, and we really enjoyed this dip. I only gave it 3 stars because it is not visually appealing. A tasty dip!

This dip is amazing! I also used sun-dried tomatoes that were not in oil, so I added a little drizzle of olive oil. I also added about 1 tsp of minced garlic and about 1/4 tsp of onion powder. Served with crunchy sesame sticks and cracked black pepper crackers - everyone loved it! I will definitely make this again.

I didn't have sun dried tomatoes in oil, but had some without and I used fresh basil from my garden--I also added 1/4 tsp of garlic salt and 1/4 tsp of onion powder. It's delicious!
