Bethany’s Sun-dried Tomato Dip

25.08.2020

This sun-dried tomato dip is by far one of my favorite dips. It’s easy to make, healthy and delicious!

Perfect for sharing with friends and family at home, or a complimentary dish at just about any dinner party or potluck. Enjoy it with veggies (my personal favorite), chips, or crackers!

Did you know that sun-dried tomatoes, like their plump regular tomato counterparts, are full of antioxidants, vitamins, and good-for-you minerals? These red beauties are packed with high levels of lycopene and antioxidants that can help lower your risk of cancer and other age-related diseases like cataracts and macular degeneration. So dig in!

the olives, but if you don’t like olives just leave those out. It’s good both ways!

INGREDIENTS:

6 Sun-dried Tomatoes (the wet kind)

1 cup Olives (I used a mix of green and black, try the jalapeño kind if you want a little kick of heat)
2 Figs or 1 Date
2-3 cups Raw Nuts or Seeds – Select any 3 of these suggestions: Walnuts, Almonds, Pecans, Sunflower Seeds, Pumpkin Seeds, Hemp Seeds, or Cashews
2-3 cloves Garlic
1 tbsp Raw Honey
1 tsp Sea Salt (or more, to taste)
1 tsp Chili Flakes
1 tsp Black Pepper
1 tsp Fresh (peeled) or Powdered Ginger
1/2 to 1 cup of olive oil

PREPARATION:

Using a food processor, process all of above ingredients (excluding Olive Oil) to a medium-coarse texture.

Then continue to slowly process, gradually adding 1/2 to 1 cup of olive oil, until you’ve reached your desired consistency.

Hope you like it!
