8 oz cream cheese or Tofutti Better than Cream Cheese
1/2 medium cucumber finely diced & seeded
2 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint (or 1 tsp dried mint)
1 spring onion finely diced
salt & pepper
Instructions
Take the cream cheese out of the fridge and let it come to room
temperature about 10-15 minutes.
While waiting for it to soften, chop
up the cucumber. I like to leave a little of the skin, so the pretty
green shows, but you can totally peel it if you like.
Chop up the mint
and chives – if you have kitchen shears, they work well for this task!
In a deep bowl, combine everything except the cucumber. Taste. If you
like a more intense flavor, add more herbs, salt and pepper.
Gently
fold the diced cucumber into the mixture. If you like a chunkier dip,
add some more cucumber until you’re happy.
Serve in a bread bowl with
chunks of bread on the side for dipping. Carrot sticks and fancy
crackers work well, too.
