I do love a good dip....

Here is a festive dip recipe for holiday gatherings. I took this to a board game party this weekend and it was a huge hit!

Layered Sundried Tomato and Artichoke Spread

Ingredients
1 pkg cream cheese, well chilled
3 Tbsp. finely chopped sundried tomatoes in oil, well drained
3 Tbsp. finely chopped drained canned artichoke hearts
2 Tbsp. pesto (I used the jarred kind)
2 Tbsp. chopped almonds
2 tsp. chopped fresh parsley
Crackers

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT TO DRAIN EVERYTHING AS LISTED ABOVE.

Cut cream cheese horizontally into 3 slices using dental floss or a piece of thread. Place one slice on large sheet of plastic wrap; top with tomatoes and second cream cheese slice.

Combine artichokes and pesto; spoon over second cream cheese layer.

Top with remaining cheese slice, nuts and parsley; press lightly to secure. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 1 hour. Serve with crackers.
