Ingredients

• 200 grams Low-fat cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons Low-fat Greek yogurt (plain, unsweetened)
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Scotch bonnet pepper sauce (or any mild hot sauce for less heat)
• 1 small Grated carrot
• 1 tablespoon Finely chopped pimento peppers (or sweet mini bell peppers)
• 1 tablespoon Chopped chives
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 8 slices Whole grain sandwich bread (optional for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Grate the low-fat cheddar cheese using the fine side of a box grater and place it into a mixing bowl.

Step 2

Add the low-fat Greek yogurt to the bowl as a creamy base, which will help bind the ingredients together without using mayonnaise.

Step 3

Stir in the Dijon mustard and Scotch bonnet pepper sauce for a spicy kick and tangy flavor. Adjust the hot sauce based on your heat preference.

Step 4

Incorporate the grated carrot, finely chopped pimento peppers, and chives into the mixture. These ingredients add sweetness, crunch, and freshness.

Step 5

Season the mixture with black pepper and salt, adjusting these to taste. Stir everything thoroughly until well combined and smooth.

Step 6

If the mixture appears too thick, add an additional teaspoon of Greek yogurt or a splash of water to achieve the desired consistency.

Step 7

Serve immediately as a spread for sandwiches with whole grain bread, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
