Sun-Dried Tomato Dip

The bar was alive with a wide selection of movers and shakers ready to start the weekend off right. I turned to my freshly poured beverage when I noticed a tiny droplet of water trickling down the side of my glass. The music bumped in the background as I slowly brought the cold liquid to my lips. A sip or two later, a couple of witty comments among friends, and I knew it was going to be a wonderful weekend.
Before slipping on my dancing shoes after a long week of work, I typically invite a few friends to stop by my house for a little nosh. I like to serve something that isn’t filling but provides enough substance to sustain through the evening. This dip was a delicious start to the weekend.
