- 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the jalapeno peppers. Slice them in half lengthwise and remove the seeds and membranes for a milder flavor. If you prefer more heat, leave some seeds intact.
Step 2
Finely dice the jalapeno peppers and set them aside.
Step 3
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the low-fat cream cheese and plain Greek yogurt. Use a hand mixer or a spoon to blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 4
Add the diced jalapeno peppers, garlic powder, onion powder, lime juice, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix thoroughly to distribute the ingredients evenly.
Step 5
Taste the spread and adjust seasonings if necessary, adding more lime juice, salt, or pepper to suit your preference.
Step 6
Transfer the spread to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped cilantro if desired.
Step 7
Serve immediately with raw veggies, whole-grain crackers, or as a flavorful addition to sandwiches. Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
