FAQs

Can I use oil-packed or dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes?

Oil-packed sun-dried tomatoes work best as they add extra flavor and moisture, but dry-packed can be used if rehydrated in warm water first.

Crusty breads like baguette, ciabatta, or sourdough are excellent choices to complement the rich, tangy flavors of the dip.
