Ingredient Notes
Garlic: I have said it before, and I will say it again – I love garlic! It is a staple for me when I cook since it brings so much flavour to some of my favourite dishes. Not to mention it is loaded with antioxidants. Garlic is the perfect ingredient to bring this Greek feta dip to life!
Sun-Dried Tomatoes: What is so special about sun-dried tomatoes? When they’re dried, tomatoes shrink up, losing 90% of their weight from the loss of their water content and become sweet, tangy, and chewy, and are used as a garnish on many dishes like pastas and dips.
