YUMMY! I altered the basic recipe with what I had on hand which was carrots, "real" bacon bits, garlic, and capers with the cream cheese. Great on a toasted bagel with avocado or ham... thanks! -
Fantastic! Fresh, easy, nutritious. Followed recipe except I used light cream cheese and 3/4 of an English cucumber and pressed/drained it in a colander before adding to cream cheese mixture, which I stirred by hand since my processor is small-ish. I'll use it alone as a sandwich spread or dip and as a condiment for Santa Fe Wrap. Thanks, Jan
