Savory Carrot & Herb Cream Spread

Savory Carrot & Herb Cream Spread

A vibrant, fresh spread perfect for breakfast toast or appetizer platters.

Ingredients

• The Base: 1 cup cream cheese or thick Greek yogurt (strained).

• The Veggies: 2 medium carrots, very finely grated.

• The Herbs: 1/4 cup fresh parsley and 2 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped.

• Seasoning: 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, salt and black pepper to taste.

• Optional: A squeeze of lemon juice for brightness.

Instructions

1. Prep the Carrots: Grate the carrots using the smallest holes on your grater. If they are very juicy, pat them dry with a paper towel to prevent the spread from becoming watery.

2. Mix: In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese (or yogurt) with the grated carrots and chopped herbs.

3. Season: Add the garlic powder, salt, pepper, and optional lemon juice. Stir until the colors are evenly distributed.

4. Incorporate: Fold the ingredients together until the spread is smooth and colorful.

5. Serve: Spread a thick layer onto toasted white bread, sourdough, or crackers. Garnish with an extra sprig of parsley.
