Okay . . . I might be exaggerating just a smidge . . .
but don’t miss this salad dressing. Sweet sun dried tomatoes and spicy garlic are a terrific combination.
Sun Dried Tomato and Garlic Dressing
Just a little onion adds some kick. Even our roasted chicken didn’t escape a dip in this dressing!
A low calorie, simple, flavorful dip. Can’t beat that!

What’s good for me in this dish?
Tomatoes provide a great source of vitamins C, A and K, not to mention the antioxidant and cancer preventing benefits of Lycopene. Tomatoes support colon and prostate health, and are a good source of potassium, niacin, vitamin B6, and folate to support a healthy heart.

It’s handy to have dip recipes this time of year when holidays are coming up.
How big is a serving?
Hi Vanessa,
A serving is 1/4 cup. The recipe has 8 servings.
Thanks for visiting!

I’m envisioning this stuff on a panini….with cheese and grilled vegetables…

Hey, quick and easy dips for crudite or buffet platters is always a plus, especially when you are hurrying to get all the last minute preparations done in time for the party.
Very true! This is a nice change from the usual Ranch dressing, that’s for sure.
I believe it. I could find many excuses to dip into this.
Thanks Belinda!
I love the concentrated flavors of sun dried tomatoes and garlic together . Great dip .

These were packed in oil, but I like the dried version just as well.
