Pita Triangles With Sun-Dried Tomato/Basil Dip

Submitted by Bergy

"I have not made this but it is another of Stacey's recipes (remember the Bread Sticks) that came to me via my friend Ted - When He says its good-believe me - it's good. Both the dip and the triangles freeze well. If you wish you may add 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil to the dip."

Creamy and so full of flavor! I used lime in place of lemon, skipped the mayo, and didn`t use the butter mixture at all. Trying to keep the fat down and I didn`t miss it at all! I browned the pita right over the open flame stove top and spread the cheese mixture (I did add dried basil to the cheese)on the pita.
