Notes

To store any leftover creamy tomato dip, place it in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to three days. Give it a stir before serving as some separation may occur. For a smoother texture, blend the dip in a food processor instead of mixing by hand. You can also sprinkle cheese on top before serving for extra richness.
