Vegetable Cream Cheese

This vegetable cream cheese is a fresh, savory spread packed with finely chopped vegetables and just enough garlic and heat to keep things interesting. Creamy cream cheese is blended with carrots, scallions, radish, celery, and a touch of hot sauce, then rested to let the flavors fully meld. It’s simple, versatile, and perfect for bagels, toast, crackers, or a platter of crisp vegetables.
