Lisa Leake's Veggie Cream Cheese
Report
This veggie cream cheese is great as a dip for crackers or veggies, and equally amazing on sandwiches with cucumber slices as a light lunch or classy appetizer. It's gluten-free, vegetarian, and only takes a few minutes to make!

Ingredients
- 1 carrot peeled and cut into large chunks
- 1/4 cucumber skin on, cut into large chunks (see notes)
- 2 garlic cloves smashed
- 1 green onion white and green parts, roughly chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 8 oz. cream cheese at room temperature
Instructions
- Put all ingredients but the cream cheese in a food processor and pulse to combine until finely chopped.
- Add the cream cheese into the veggie mixture and pulse until well combined. Scrape down the sides of the bowl if needed.
- Serve immediately or store in the fridge for up to four days.
Notes
- This is great served on crackers or with veggies as a dip, on cucumber sandwiches, or any other way you'd use cream cheese.
- I scooped the seeds from the cucumber with a spoon so it would be less watery. If you use an English cucumber, you won't need to do this they have less water/seeds.
