5 Minute Tomato Basil Dip Food

DELICIOUS BASIL DIP

Steps:

• In your blender or food processor, chop up your garlic, then add the basil and chop that all up. Then add the mayonnaise.
• Next add the Dijon Mustard, olive oil, lemon juice and salt and pepper. Blend everything until it is completely smooth and combined. Put it in a dish, cover and refrigerate for at least an hour or so. This allows the flavors to marry and results in a delicious, fragrant, wonderful Basil Dip.

SUN-DRIED TOMATO & BASIL OLIVE TAPENADE (5 MINUTES!)

Steps:

• Add olives, garlic, sun-dried tomatoes, basil, olive oil (starting with lesser amount), and lemon juice to a food processor and mix/pulse to achieve a dip with some texture. Scrape down sides as needed.
• Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more sun-dried tomatoes for tomato flavor, basil for fresh herb flavor, lemon juice for acidity, olive oil to thin, or garlic for bite. Optional: Add a pinch of salt and pepper, though we didn't find it needed it.
• Serve immediately. This makes a great dip on its own or for pairing/layering with hummus. We also love it as a sandwich spread on a veggie sandwich like the Trashy Vegan Sandwich from our Everyday Cooking Cookbook, or our Chickpea Sunflower Sandwich.
• Store in the refrigerator up to 7-10 days. Freeze for long-term storage, though best when fresh.
