Ingredients
  

1 cup cream cheese, softened at room temperature

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

1 cup mixed fresh vegetables (such as bell peppers, cucumbers, and carrots), finely chopped

1/4 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/4 cup fresh herbs (like parsley, dill, and chives), finely chopped

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional, for a hint of smokiness)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: Start by washing and finely chopping the mixed fresh vegetables, red onion, and fresh herbs. Aim for small, consistent pieces to ensure a smooth and easy spread.

    Create the Base: In a large mixing bowl, place the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt. Using a hand mixer or whisk, blend these two ingredients together until they achieve a smooth, creamy consistency. This will form the base of your spread.

      Add Flavor: To the creamy mixture, incorporate the lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika (if you’re adding it), and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.

        Fold in the Vegetables: Carefully fold the finely chopped vegetables and herbs into the creamy base using a spatula. Stir gently until all the ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed throughout the mixture.

          Taste and Adjust: Before chilling, take a moment to taste the spread. Adjust the seasoning with extra salt, pepper, or lemon juice to suit your palate, ensuring it’s just right.

            Chill the Spread: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap, or transfer the mixture to an airtight container, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld beautifully.

              Serve: Once chilled, spread this delicious creamy garden veggie sandwich spread generously on your favorite bread, wraps, or crackers. For an extra delightful sandwich, consider adding fresh lettuce, sprouts, or even slices of turkey or chicken for added protein!
