Sun Dried Tomato Dip!

Hey everyone! It's week 5 of my Personal PIGskin Challenge and I found this recipe on Epicurious.com.
A little healthier, no cream cheese or sour cream in site, and vegetarian too! (Just don't tell the guys.)
Sun Dried Tomato Dip
1/4 C oil packed sun dried tomatoes
2 Tblsp chopped bottled roasted red peppers
1/2 C walnuts-toasted
1 tsp finely chopped shallot
1 1/2 Tblsp red wine vinegar
2 Tblsp water
1/4 C olive oil
Put everything except EVOO in the food processor, puree.
Stream oil in slowly. Season with salt.

My notes:
  1. I dehydrated some tomatoes from the garden this summer so that's what I used.
  2. Comments suggested adding extra vinegar, so I did! I used 1 Tblsp water, and 2 1/2 vinegar.
  3. Comments also suggested cutting back on the oil if you used oil packed tomatoes.
  4. I did not use a shallot, but added a Tblsp of chopped onion.
  5. I also added 1/2 tsp sugar.
  6. I like it, it's different for me, but not something I'll add to the "just gotta have again" list.
  7. But hoping you love it if you try it:@)
