Categories     Dips

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 oz sun-dried tomatoes (not packed in oil)
2 jar(s) (7-oz. each) roasted red peppers, drained
2 clove garlic, chopped fine
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin
1 tsp fresh lemon juice
1/4 c chopped fresh cilantro
1/4 c chopped green onion
4 oz neufchatel cream cheese
salt and pepper, to taste
tabasco or hot pepper sauce, to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Soak dried tomatoes in hot water for 5 minutes. Drain well, reserving 3 tablespoons of the soaking liquid.
  • 2. In a food processor, puree red peppers, tomatoes, garlic, cumin, lemon juice, cilantro and scallion until smooth and well-blended. Add cream cheese and puree, adding enough of the reserved tomato-soaking liquid to thin the dip to the desired consistency (scraping down the side of the bowl occasionally). Blend until smooth. Blend in salt, pepper and hot sauce to taste. Adjust seasoning, adding more garlic, cumin, or lemon juice if needed.
  • 3. Transfer to a container with a cover. Cover and refrigerate for 24 hours before using. Bring dip to room temperature before serving.

Tips:

  • For the best flavor, use fresh, ripe ingredients.
  • If you don't have a blender, you can mash the avocado and cream cheese together with a fork until smooth.
  • If the dip is too thick, add a little milk or water until you reach the desired consistency.
  • Serve the dip with your favorite chips, crackers, or vegetables.
  • Garnish the dip with chopped fresh cilantro or parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
  • For a spicier dip, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
  • If you're making the dip ahead of time, cover it tightly and refrigerate for up to 24 hours.

Conclusion:

This Santa Fe Sunset Dip is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. It is also a great way to use up leftover avocado and cream cheese. The dip is creamy, flavorful, and has a beautiful sunset-inspired color. Serve it with your favorite chips, crackers, or vegetables and enjoy!
