Tuscan Tuesday Cheese Spread

This creamy, lightly spicy cheese spread was born for a casual Tuesday night, but it shows up beautifully on a weekend snack board too. Tuscan garlic, salsa and a splash of tomato-basil balsamic give it enough personality to make crackers, cucumber and carrot sticks feel like a meal.

Ingredients
  

Method
 

  1. Stir cream cheese and sour cream together until smooth. Fold in cheddar, turkey or ham and salsa.
  2. Add Ellbee's Tuscan Gourmet Garlic, Ellbee's Garlic Olive Oil, Ellbee's Tomato Basil Balsamic Vinegar, red-pepper flakes and a few grinds of black pepper.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes so the spread thickens and the flavors mingle.
  4. Serve chilled with crackers and crisp vegetables. Keep it rustic rather than blending it perfectly smooth.

Notes

Time: 15 min
Kitchen tip: Drain watery salsa before stirring it in. That one small step keeps the spread thick enough to sit proudly on a cracker.
