How to Make Spicy Cajun Dip

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a small bowl, pour 1 cup boiling water over 1 cup sun-dried tomatoes.
  3. Let stand at room temperature for 5-10 minutes to rehydrate.
  4. Drain the tomatoes well and chop them finely.
  5. In a medium bowl, combine 8 ounces cream cheese (softened), 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt, and 2 tablespoons Cajun chili sauce. Mix until smooth.
  6. Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes to the cream cheese mixture.
  7. Stir in 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions, 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, and 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (or more, to taste).
  8. Mix well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  9. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. (Refrigerating for longer will intensify the flavors.)
  10. Before serving, stir the dip gently.
  11. Serve immediately with an assortment of fresh vegetables (such as carrot sticks, celery sticks, cucumber slices, bell pepper strips) or garlic-flavored bagel crisps.
