Reviews
This tasted just like my favorite cheese spread, Allouette Spring Garden mix. I did the same preparation as Rouvi, a previous reviewer, and it came out perfectly. Only thing I did different was add some salt to the mix. I, too, prefer it on crackers rather than bread. But for a tea party, bread works just fine. Highly recommend!!!
Great tasting recipe and fun finger sandwiches!
We love this spread! We even put it on Turkey sandwiches.. You can put it on any sandwich- Thanks Ree!
YUM. So easy, and so delicious. Excellent on bagels for breakfast, or on anything!
Excellent!
Easy delicious fast
I just made this and it was wonderful. My husband and I are trying to eat healthier and this fits right into our new lifestyle. I made it with 1/3 less fat cream cheese too.
The vegetable cream cheese spread is terrific! I made 1/3 of the recipe as I had only one 8 oz container of cream cheese I needed to use. I used 1t dried shallots (reconstituted) for the red onion, IT minced scallions, 1T minced carrot, 1T minced celery, 1 small clove garlic minced, 1t minced fresh dill, and added 1t minced fresh parsley and salt and pepper. I did not use a food processor which kept everything from muddling together and simply mixed all into the softened cream cheese. This is great for not only sandwiches, but as a spread for cut vegetables, crackers, pretzels, etc. SO much better than the processed vegetable cream cheese from the dairy aisle!
Really delicious! Makes a lot so be prepared with lots of mouths to feed. Delicious on bagels for breakfast and crackers for appetizers.
This is amazing! Crackers, mini sandwiches, rolled in tortillas, or spread on a turkey sandwich….all yummy!
