Mediterranean Goat Cheese Spread (Ww)

Submitted by kitty.rock

"Sun-dried tomatoes are a favorite of ours, so this dip was a must. You can buy herb-flavored goat cheese and experiment with different flavors. NOTE: Gently fold the olives and tomatoes into the cheese mixture; over-mixing may turn the spread an unappetizing purplish pink color. From "WW 5-Ingredient-15 Minute Recipes" and = 1 point. Served on 1 melba toast round = 2 points."

I omitted the salt. That's the only thing I changed. It's so yummy. But I'm curious to try with sun-dried tomatoes packed in oil. Thanks FloridaNative :) Made for PAC Spring 2010

DH liked this just fine; I discovered that I don't 'love' kalamata olives. It is a predominant flavor in the dip. I did make as directed, but found the flavor of the tomatoes very understated. Maybe some roasted garlic? DH liked it, so I'll make it again, perhaps to serve with some other appys! Thanks for sharing, FloridaNative! Made for ZWT.
