Prepare the veggies: Finely chop or grate all vegetables so they blend smoothly into the cream cheese.
Mix cream cheese and veggies: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, grated carrots, chopped bell peppers, green onions, garlic, and lemon juice. Mix until well combined.
Season: Add salt, pepper, and optional herbs to taste.
Chill & Serve: Refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve with crackers, bread, or raw veggie sticks.
💡 Tips from Ashley:
For an extra smooth spread, blend all ingredients in a food processor.
Swap cream cheese for Greek yogurt to make it lighter and tangier.
Add a sprinkle of paprika or cayenne for a subtle kick. 🌶️
If you want, I can also give you a 5-minute ultra-smooth blender version that’s ready to serve immediately! Do you want me to share that next?
