- 16 oz 450g cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup Greek yogurt plain and unsweetened
- 1/2 cup finely diced red bell pepper
- 1/2 cup finely diced orange bell pepper
- 1/4 cup grated carrots squeezed dry
- 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions scallions
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Whip the Base
In your large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and the plain Greek yogurt. Use your electric mixer to beat them together until the mixture is light, airy, and fluffy.
Add the Seasonings
Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, sea salt, and black pepper into the creamy cheese base. Mix well so the spices are spread evenly throughout the entire bowl of cream cheese.
- Always dry your vegetables after dicing to keep the spread thick and very creamy.
- Add a tablespoon of prepared horseradish if you want a spicy and tangy kick.
- Use a low-fat cream cheese to make a lighter version of this garden-fresh recipe.
- Try adding finely chopped radishes for a peppery crunch and a bright pink color.
- If you do not have fresh herbs, use one teaspoon of dried herbs instead.
- Mix in some shredded sharp cheddar cheese for a bolder and more savory flavor profile.
