10-Minute Light Herbed Cream Cheese Dip

Fresh dill, parsley, and green onions transform a simple base of cream cheese and yogurt into a bright, savory spread. You'll love how the tangy dairy balances the punchy garlic and Celtic salt. It's a fantastic alternative to heavy, store-bought tubs, offering a much cleaner flavor profile. Serve it alongside crisp vegetable sticks or toasted pita wedges for a snack that won't weigh you down.

Equipment

  • Food processor
  • Blender

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces low-fat softened cream cheese
  • ¼ cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 2 small chopped green onions
  • ½ teaspoon minced garlic
  • ½ teaspoon Celtic salt

Instructions

  1. 1Place the softened cream cheese and plain yogurt into a food processor or blender. Blend the mixture for 1 to 2 minutes until completely smooth. Scraping down the sides ensures there aren't any lumps.
  2. 2Add the chopped dill, parsley, green onions, minced garlic, and Celtic salt. Pulse the machine for about 30 seconds until the herbs are evenly distributed but not completely pureed, then transfer to a bowl to serve with raw vegetables or toast.

Notes

  • Swap: If fresh herbs aren't available, you can substitute 2 teaspoons each of dried dill and parsley.
  • Storage: Keep the dip in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
  • Make ahead: The flavors deepen if you let it chill in the fridge for an hour before serving.
