This is another very good recipe from Barbara Kafka, but we've modified it. It works best with sun-dried tomatoes prepared without sulfites. We also add a 15-ounce can of cannellini beans (rinsed and drained).

I've been making this recipe for many years. It is absolutely delicious as is, and it's very easy to make. Celery goes perfectly with this dip, so it makes for a wonderful, healthful snack as well as a crowd-pleasing appetizer. Highly recommended.

Delicious. Capers and walnuts (to make it more like a pesto) were a nice addition. I reserved the cooking water to help with the puree. Served on crostini with goat cheese - a total crowd pleaser! I bet the leftovers will be great tossed with pasta the next day.

It ended up needed more liquid and I had to double the olive oil in the end. I halved the recipe, which might have been the issue. I also added just a splash of red wine vinegar just to brighten it.
