Roasted Tomato Almond Dip

5 minutes, and 5 ingredients.  That's all you need to make this dip.  If that's not reason enough to whip out your blender, look at the name of it: roasted tomato almond dip.  So you get the sweet flavor of roasted tomatoes (but don't worry, you use a can of fire-roasted to speed things up!) with a hint of nuttiness (not to mention protein).  This dip is delicious.

Now, it says to serve it with grilled bread, and I recommend that.  I was lazy the day I made it, and I just grabbed stale crackers from the cabinet to eat with it.  Even with stale crackers, the dip was amazing; I can only imagine how good a toasty piece of good bread would be.

I'll confess that my family was a bit unconventional when it came to suppertime; we liked the dip so much that we actually made pasta and ate it as a sauce!  That's how good it is.  When's the last time you made a dip that was so delicious, you wanted to eat on top of spaghetti?
