This herbed cream cheese recipe from Dr. Wendy Bazilian, a registered dietitian, researcher, educator and author, is deliciously versatile.

Makes 8 (2-tablespoon) servings.

Prep Time: 10 minutes

Refrigerate: 2 hours

INGREDIENTS

1 package (8 ounces) Neufchâtel cheese (1/3 less fat than cream cheese), softened

2 tablespoons milk

1 tablespoon diced peeled cucumber

1 tablespoon diced roasted red bell pepper

1 teaspoon McCormick® Oregano Leaves

1 teaspoon McCormick® Thyme Leaves

1/4 teaspoon McCormick® Garlic Powder

Dash McCormick® Red Pepper, Ground

DIRECTIONS

1. Mix all ingredients in medium bowl until well blended. Cover.

2. Refrigerate at least 2 hours to blend flavors. Serve with assorted crackers or cut-up fresh vegetables. Or, use as a healthful and flavor-packed alternative to mayonnaise for sandwiches, pitas and wraps.

Tips

Test Kitchen Tip: Use cream cheese mixture to prepare a variety of hors d’oeurves. Pipe into cherry tomatoes, or onto celery sticks or Belgian endive leaves. Garnish with finely chopped red bell pepper. For an easy Bruschetta, spread on toasted French bread slices. Sprinkle with chopped tomatoes.
