Creamy, savory, slightly tangy, and bursting with Mediterranean flavor. Takes only 10 minutes to make.

🥣 INGREDIENTS

Base

1 (8 oz / 225 g) block PHILADELPHIA cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
1 tbsp mayonnaise (optional, for extra creaminess)

Flavor Mix-ins

½ cup sundried tomatoes, finely chopped
(oil-packed sundried tomatoes taste best)
2–3 garlic cloves, minced or grated
2 tbsp olive oil (from the sundried tomato jar if possible)
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1–2 tbsp fresh basil or parsley, chopped
½–1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
Salt & black pepper, to taste

Optional Add-ons

A pinch of red pepper flakes
2 tbsp chopped green onions
1–2 tsp lemon juice
Extra sundried tomato pieces for topping

🧂 INSTRUCTIONS

1. Soften the Cream Cheese

Let the PHILADELPHIA cream cheese sit at room temperature for 15–20 minutes so it blends smoothly.

2. Mix the Creamy Base

In a medium bowl, add:

Cream cheese
Sour cream (or Greek yogurt)
Mayo (optional)

Beat with a spoon, spatula, or hand mixer until smooth and fluffy.

3. Add the Flavor Mix-ins

Stir in:

Chopped sundried tomatoes
Minced garlic
Olive oil
Parmesan
Basil or parsley
Italian seasoning
Salt & pepper

Mix until everything is evenly distributed.

4. Adjust to Taste

Add more garlic for stronger flavor.
Add more olive oil for a looser, creamier dip.
Add lemon juice if you want a slight tang.

5. Chill (Important!)

Refrigerate for 30–60 minutes.
The flavors blend and intensify during chilling.

6. Serve

Garnish with:

Extra chopped sundried tomatoes
A drizzle of olive oil
Fresh herbs
Cracked black pepper

Serve with:

Toasted baguette slices
Crackers
Chips
Pita bread
Fresh vegetables

⭐ TIPS FOR BEST RESULTS

Oil-packed sundried tomatoes add deeper flavor.
