Chock full of raw veggies, this is one snack spread you can literally feel good about serving and eating, especially if you make it using probiotic-rich homemade yogurt cheese. This is a favorite for parties, or just for enjoying while watching a ballgame together. My boys love it with homemade Spelt Thins, and I enjoy it on top of my favorite homemade GF crackers.
Veggie Confetti Spread (GF)
Ingredients
- 4 oz homemade yogurt cheese (or cultured cream cheese)
- 1/4 cup each of your 4-5 favorite raw veggies (see suggestions below)
- 1/4 tsp of Celtic sea salt
- Pinch each of dried parsley and dill weed
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add homemade yogurt cheese (or cream cheese), salt and seasonings. Use a fork to mix well to combine.
- Finely dice ¼ cup of your favorite raw veggies such as carrot, broccoli, celery, green onion, zucchini, yellow squash, red pepper, etc. (I do not recommend using cucumber, unless you lightly salt it and let it sit in a colander for at least an hour to drain. Otherwise, it will make your cheese spread soggy.)
- Add finely diced veggies to the seasoned soft cheese and use a fork to mix together until well incorporated.
- Line a small glass bowl with a sheet of plastic wrap and add the veggie-cheese mixture to the bowl. Place in fridge at least one hour (or overnight) to harden.
- When ready to serve, remove from fridge and place flat side down on serving platter. Gently remove plastic wrap. Serve with your favorite crackers, such as my Grain-Free Simple Herb Crackers.
