Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Low-fat cream cheese
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (non-fat)
- 3 medium Fresh jalapeno peppers
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Wash and dry the jalapeno peppers. Slice them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor. If you prefer more heat, leave some seeds intact.
Finely dice the jalapeno peppers and set them aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cream cheese and plain Greek yogurt. Use a hand mixer or a spoon to blend until smooth and creamy.
Add the diced jalapeno peppers, garlic powder, onion powder, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Taste the spread and adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper to suit your preference.
Transfer the spread to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro if desired.
Serve immediately with raw veggies, whole-grain crackers, or as a flavorful addition to sandwiches. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
