FAQ ❓

What are the health benefits of sun-dried tomatoes?

Sun-dried tomatoes are rich in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, providing health benefits such as improved heart health and enhanced skin health due to their high lycopene content.
While fresh basil offers a vibrant flavor, you can use dried basil in a pinch; however, you should reduce the amount since dried herbs are more concentrated.
To add some heat, consider incorporating red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce into the blend for a spicy kick that complements the flavors.
This spread pairs wonderfully with chips, vegetable sticks, crackers, or even as a topping for toasted bread or sandwiches.
You can store the spread in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, making it a convenient make-ahead appetizer.
