Sun-Dried.

Happy Thursday y'all!

I am loving these sunny days. They are great for taking the dogs on a walk and doing an outdoor workout. Yesterday, I did the Love your Legs workout with the Tone It Up girls and whew...let's just say I was feeling the burn. I definitely needed a pick me up after that one! While a frozen margarita was calling my name, all I had were some R.W. Garcia 3 seed Veggie Dippers and a bag of carrots. So, naturally, all I needed was dip. Hmmmmm project time! Bada-Bing!

Sun-Dried Tomato and Walnut Dip

This dip is the shizzzzz. It's slightly tangy from the sun-dried tomatoes, with a hint of sweet basil, and a crunchy bite from the walnuts.

Just what I needed after a good workout.

Now, about that margarita...!?

Sun-dried Tomato and Walnut Dip:

Ingredients:

1 c. sun dried tomatoes

1 c. boiling water

1 bunch fresh basil leaves

1/4 c. walnut oil
