To Die For Sun Dried Tomato and Garlic Dressing

by Kristi Rimkus on November 2, 2010


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 Dip

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!

Serves 8

1 cup light mayonnaise
1 cup 2% milk
6 medium sun dried tomatoes packed in oil and drained
2 cloves garlic, chopped
2 tablespoons onion, chopped

Directions

Combine ingredients in a blender until smooth, then chill for 30 minutes.

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.

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 love how this sounds, especially as a dip. I can see how you would want to dunk everything in here–yum!
