Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened (by placing at room temperature for about 30 minutes)
  • 3 tablespoons scallions chopped (green onions) adjust to your preference
  • salt adjust to taste
  • 2 tablespoons milk may use little more if necessary
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder optional
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper powder optional, adjust to your preference

for garnishing

  • 1 teaspoon scallions chopped (green onions)

Instructions

  • Place the softened cream cheese in a large bowl (before you start making the dip, you can take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator and leave the cream cheese in room temperature for about one hour so it will soften).
  • Using a fork, break and scramble the softened cream cheese block, mash and mix well.
  • Once it's done, use a spoon to mix the cream cheese very well.
  • Alternatively, you can use an electric mixer to whip the cream cheese until fluffy, if you wish.
  • Add the milk and salt, mix again using a spoon until the cream cheese is softened and it is creamy and smooth in texture.
  • If the cream cheese is still not smooth enough for your preference, you may add little more milk and stir again, but add only little milk at a time, as needed.
  • Once the cream cheese is smooth and creamy, add garlic and black pepper powder (if using), stir again to evenly combine with the cream cheese.
  • Add the chopped scallions or green onion leaves, and mix evenly with the cream cheese mixture, using a spoon.
  • You may add little more green onions, based on your preference, if needed.
  • Once the cream cheese scallion spread/dip is prepared, transfer the prepared spread/dip to a serving bowl.
  • Garnish with the one teapoon of chopped scallions/green onions & enjoy with bagels, sandwiches as a spread or use a creamy dip for chips, fries, nachos, crackers, veggies etc!
    I like to serve this as soon as this is prepared, since it tastes the best as soon as it's made, according to my preference.

Notes

If you are serving this dip later, place this in the refrigerator and chill until ready to serve!
In case it turns thicker in texture as it sits on, you may use a little bit more milk & stir until well combined, if necessary.
Enjoy the chilled spread/dip with chips or veggies or bagels, sandwiches etc as you like!
