- Note 1 This is the standard size jar of Sun-dried tomatoes. Drain, but keep the oil as it has great flavour and adds a depth to the taste of the dip.
- Note 2 The cream cheese will be easier to work with if you take it out of the fridge in advance. Let it sit on the bench for a little bit prior to using if you can.
- Note 3 If you purchase sun-dried tomatoes in their own oil, then use this in the dip also. It has great taste and enhances the flavour combination. For some recipes if you purchase sun-dried tomatoes from the deli I suggest using olive oil instead as they won't come packed in oil. For this recipe, however, if you use sun-dried tomatoes that are in a small tab with no liquid, only use 1 teaspoon oil. We don't want a super oily, olive oil flavour. Omit it completely if you wish. It will change the texture but only ever so slightly and the taste is more important that the texture.
- Note 4 Drain and discard the liquid from the artichokes. It is no where near as nice as the sun-dried tomato oil. Plus the artichokes as they are bigger than sun-dried tomatoes, will have absorbed some of this oil as they come preserved in it.
- Note 5 The lemon juice will help balance out the flavours in this dip. Add more if you like and taste as you go.
- Note 6 These are the large round wholewheat pita breads that you can use for thin crust pizzas. Keep them 2 sided as they break easily if too thin. Cut directly through both sides with the knife to make your chips.
