Although I try to avoid crackers and bread, as much as possible, I love dip. Spicy. And, an oil-free healthy dip is a bonus! How often can you find a guilt-free dip without oil or fat added? Spicy Sun-Dried Tomato Dip is one of my favorite skinny dipping dips. In fact, spicy sun-dried tomato bean dip only requires six simple ingredients.
Recently, I fell in love with carrot chips; carrots cut into rounded chips. Believe it or not, carrot chips have the perfect dip base. When the store is out of carrot chips, I cut my own, as well as cucumber slices, and other vegetables I like to dip.

Most people stay away from dips because they are generally high in fat. Diversely, spicy sun-dried tomato bean dip will knock your socks off. Despite being perfect for dipping vegetables, it is also a great sandwich spread inside a wrap sandwich as well.
Because I used sun-dried tomatoes in a package versus the ones packed in oil, my di pis oil-free.
When I caught my husband using his finger to get the last bit of dip from the bowl, I knew this was a keeper. Although he claimed he was doing the dishes, I caught him red-handed.
So, if you are looking for a great dip for a party or a snack while watching your favorite game, give this one a try.

Is the 1.5 cups of water and the 1.5 cups of broth for soaking the sun dried tomatoes? It doesn't mention to add it anywhere in the recipe and adding it to the other ingredients would make it pretty soupy. Thank you Cheryl

Hi Cheryl, the recipe was updated and apparently didn't transfer. It is fixed and has the missing parts of the directions. The 1 1/2 cups water is for softening the sun-dried tomatoes and then is discarded. The vegetable broth is used in blending the dip. I start with 1 cup of vegetable broth and you can add more if it is too thick. Thank you for letting me know. I appreciate it, and I hope you enjoy the dip.
