Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces low-fat cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons non-fat Greek yogurt
- 3 tablespoons fresh chives
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Allow the low-fat cream cheese to sit at room temperature for about 10-15 minutes to soften slightly, making it easier to mix.
Finely chop the fresh chives and set aside.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the softened low-fat cream cheese and non-fat Greek yogurt. Stir together until smooth and well combined.
Add the chopped chives to the cream cheese mixture along with the lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Using a spatula, fold the seasonings and chives into the cream cheese mixture until evenly distributed.
Taste the cream cheese and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more chives or seasoning to taste.
Transfer the low-fat chive cream cheese to a serving bowl or an airtight container for storage.
Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
Serve the chive cream cheese spread on your favorite bagels, crackers, or use it as a vegetable dip.
