Instructions
Begin by softening the cream cheese to room temperature for easier mixing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and mayonnaise. Use a spatula or hand mixer to blend until smooth.
Add the minced garlic, dried parsley, dried dill weed, paprika, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Fold in the finely chopped green onions and nuts (if using) for added texture and flavor.
Transfer the mixture to a serving bowl or shape it into a log or ball if desired. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
To serve, garnish with a sprinkle of parsley or additional nuts. Pair with crackers, toasted bread, or fresh vegetables.
