Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 4 whole scallions
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Allow the cream cheese to sit at room temperature for about 20 minutes to soften. This will make it easier to mix.
Step 2
Rinse and pat dry the scallions. Trim the roots and about an inch off the dark green tops. Then, finely chop the remaining parts of the scallions (both white and green parts).
Step 3
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, chopped scallions, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 4
Using a spatula or hand mixer, blend the ingredients together until the scallions are evenly distributed and the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Step 5
Taste the scallion cream cheese and adjust the seasoning if needed. You may add more salt, pepper, or a dash more lemon juice to suit your taste.
Step 6
Transfer the scallion cream cheese to a serving dish or an airtight container. If not serving immediately, refrigerate to firm it up slightly.
Step 7
Serve as a spread for bagels, sandwiches, or as a dip with vegetables and enjoy!
