Ingredients
- 8 small red radishes
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Wash the red radishes thoroughly under cold water. Trim off the tops and ends, and grate them using a medium grater.

In a medium mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. Using a spatula or hand mixer, blend together until smooth.
Add the grated radishes, lemon juice, chopped fresh parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
Taste the spread and adjust seasoning if needed (add more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to your preference).
Transfer the spread to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the Red Radish Cheese Spread with crackers, slices of fresh baguette, or a variety of fresh vegetables for dipping. Enjoy!
