Barefoot Contessa's Sun-Dried Tomato Dip (Light Version)

Juenessa's Note:

Adapted from The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook, 1999. This wonderful dip is just as good as the original, using lower fat versions of cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. I bet you can't tell the difference!

I had all of the ingredients on hand so I thought I'd try it today. MMM. Delicious. Thanks for the recipe.

Fabulous crowd-pleaser dip! I served this with pita chips and everyone commented on how tasty it was. Made as posted, without the hot sauce. Definitely a keeper!

Tasty! I made this for a party just as posted with all the lighter products and everyone loved it - ate it up in a hurry. Great sun dried tomato flavor and I like the green onions in this. I served it with wheat thin crackers. Serving at room temperature allows the full flavor to come out. Thanks for posting, Juenessa, I'll make this one again!
