Notes
The measurements and types of vegetables that you use are completely up to you. These measurements and vegetables are just what we prefer.
Full fat and reduced fat cream cheese work great in this recipe.
Feel free to use 3 tablespoons of homemade ranch seasoning in place of the store-bought ranch mix.
We love this spread on toasted everything bagels, served with pretzels and raw vegetables or as a spread in wraps.
Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
