  • 3-4 tablespoons fresh herbs, chopped (parsley, thyme, basil or a mix)

Notes

Cream cheese - The full-fat kind will lend extra richness to this spread, but a ⅓ reduced fat or fat-free cream cheese can be substituted as well.
Goat cheese - A plain log of goat cheese is my go-to for this dip, but you could also experiment with a flavored goat cheese if you'd like.
Herbs - You'll need 3-4 tablespoons of chopped fresh herbs. Parsley, thyme and basil all work well here and you can use all of just one herb or mix them.
Lemon juice - Adjust the amount of lemon juice to your liking. Add a little extra for extra freshness and lemony flavor, or use a little less if you want it more as a background flavor. You could add some lemon zest if you want some serious lemon flavor. 🍋
Storing - The cheese and herb mixture can be prepared ahead of time and kept, covered, in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 5 days.
