• 100 g soft curd cheese (cream cheese)

• 2 tbsp Greek yogurt or thick sour cream

• 1 small clove of garlic, pressed through a press

• 1 tbsp finely chopped green onions or chives

• 1 tsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed)

• ½ tsp ground cumin or paprika

• a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper

• 1 sprig fresh parsley, to serve

Step by step instructions

1. Mix the base.
   In a bowl, combine cream cheese and yogurt (or sour cream). Beat until creamy.

2. Add aroma.
   Add the pressed garlic, green onions, lemon juice and cumin (or paprika). Season with salt and pepper to taste, and mix well again.

3. Cooling.
   Transfer the dip to small bowls and refrigerate for at least 15-20 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set a bit.

4. Innings.
   Before serving, garnish each serving with a parsley leaf or finely chopped dill. Serve with crispy crackers, vegetable sticks or fresh lavash bread.

Tips and variations

• Spicy twist: Add a pinch of chili flakes or a dash of Tabasco if you like it spicy.

• Green Fresh: Replace some of the yogurt with pesto for a zesty basil twist.

• Aromatic oils: Drizzle with a drop of extra virgin olive oil before serving.
