Sun-dried tomatoes can add another flavor profile to your favorite foods. They're a tasty complement to bold flavors such as goat cheese, but can also give frittatas, pizza and bread a unique spin. I love to add them to my white bean salad because the flavor and presentation all goes perfectly on a toasted slice of French bread. You can find canned, jarred or bagged sun-dried tomatoes at your local supermarket. They're convenient to cook with because they come ready to serve and no prep is needed. MORE + LESS -
