For an even more intense flavor, consider using sun-dried tomatoes that have been marinated in herbs and garlic-infused oil. If you prefer a lighter dip, substitute Greek yogurt for some or all of the sour cream. This dip is best enjoyed within 2 days to ensure optimal freshness and flavor.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a medium-sized bowl, gently combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, and lemon juice until smooth and well incorporated. (5 minutes)
02
StepIntroduce the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and minced fresh basil to the creamy mixture. Fold gently to evenly distribute the vibrant ingredients. (3 minutes)
03
StepSeason the dip with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, adjusting to your preference. Remember, the sun-dried tomatoes already contribute a concentrated flavor, so season judiciously. (2 minutes)
04
StepCover the bowl securely with plastic wrap, pressing it gently against the surface of the dip to prevent a skin from forming. (2 minutes)
05
StepAllow the dip to chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or preferably longer, to allow the flavors to meld and deepen. (60+ minutes)
06
StepBefore serving, give the dip a final stir and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve chilled with your choice of accompaniments.
