Additional Notes: 

*I usually include a small amount of the white bulb of the green onion (minced). You can use the white part if you like a stronger onion flavor.

This recipe is strong enough for me, but it depends on how you're using it, as well. For example, you may want a milder dip for veggies and a hotter, more-onion flavor for spreading on bagels. Just add more green onions or chives to adjust the flavor.

Preparation Time: 

10 minutes

Tammy's Review: 

This is a great green onion and chives cream cheese spread! I think it tastes just as good or better than any of the comparable commercial cream cheese dips. It's easy to make, too! My rating: 10/10

Tasty, easy, and quick

I made a vegan version of this with Tofutti "Better than cream cheese" and almond milk. It came out great. Excellent with veggies and on a bagel, like you said!

Good recipe!

I made this for some snack wraps that I took to a shower. It was very good!
