Philly Tomato-Basil Dip
"Found on the inside of a philadelphia cream cheese box and just had to try it. I was hesitant at first but was glad I did. This dip is wonderful and the zesty italian dressing gives it a wonderful kick."

Once made & served, I was pleased with this dip, while my GUESTS RAVED ABOUT IT, & asked for copies of the recipe! You have a winner of a dip here ~ The basil was a nice addition, as was the ZESTY dressing! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Please Review My Recipe] -
This is a nice treat that definitely has zing to it. It's very easy to make. We scaled it down to 3 servings, and found it tasted better once heated in the microwave for 30 seconds. Overall, we liked this appetizer.

I'm always looking for quick, easy, and wonderful tasting food to fix that my whole family will enjoy... My husband is a picky meat and potatoes man.... SO, any time I fix something new that he likes, is amazing....
Wesley is like his daddy and loves to eat meat and potatoes, but he's also real good about trying other foods.... Katelyn, will eat whatever she can get her hands on....

For fun, I enjoy sewing, scrap booking, reading, and spending time with my kids. I also like to just sit and explore recipezaar.
