Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 cup alfalfa sprouts
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Let the cream cheese soften at room temperature for 5–10 minutes for easier mixing.
Using a spatula, mix the cream cheese and Greek yogurt together until smooth and well combined.
Add the finely chopped chives, alfalfa sprouts, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
Gently fold the mixture to evenly distribute the ingredients, being careful not to crush the alfalfa sprouts too much.
Taste the spread and adjust the seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or lemon juice, if needed.
Transfer the spread to a serving dish or an airtight container. Serve immediately with crackers, fresh vegetables, or as a sandwich filling.
If not serving immediately, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
