Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Goat cheese (soft, plain)
- 3 tbsp Sun-dried tomatoes (oil-packed, finely chopped)
- 2 tbsp Kalamata olives (pitted and finely chopped)
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tbsp Fresh basil (chopped)
- 1 clove Garlic (minced)
- 2 tbsp Extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice (freshly squeezed)
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.125 tsp Black pepper (freshly ground)
Instructions
Remove the goat cheese from the refrigerator and allow it to come to room temperature for about 10 minutes. This will make it easier to mix.
In a medium bowl, combine the goat cheese, chopped sun-dried tomatoes, chopped Kalamata olives, parsley, basil, and minced garlic.
Drizzle the olive oil and freshly squeezed lemon juice over the mixture.
Sprinkle in the salt and black pepper, then stir everything together until fully incorporated. Make sure the ingredients are evenly dispersed for the best flavor in every bite.
Transfer the spread to a serving dish and garnish with additional herbs, if desired.
Serve immediately with crackers, pita bread, or fresh vegetable sticks, or refrigerate until ready to use. Let it come back to room temperature before serving for the best texture and flavor.
