Step 3: Mix the Creamy Ingredients
Add the sour cream or Greek yogurt to the softened cream cheese. Using a spatula or hand mixer, blend until smooth and creamy. The mixture should be light, fluffy, and easy to stir.
Step 4: Add the Vegetables
Gently fold the chopped vegetables into the creamy base. Stir slowly to keep the vegetables intact while evenly distributing their colors and textures throughout the mixture.
Step 5: Season the Spread
Sprinkle in salt, black pepper, and garlic powder (or fresh garlic). Add chopped fresh herbs for a bright, garden-fresh aroma. If desired, add a small squeeze of lemon juice or a drizzle of olive oil to enhance freshness.
Step 6: Taste and Adjust
Taste the spread and adjust seasoning as needed. You can add more herbs, salt, or pepper depending on your preference.
Step 7: Chill for Best Flavor
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the spread for at least 30 minutes. This resting time allows the flavors to blend and deepen, making the spread even more delicious.
