Cheddar Scallion Dip
Ingredients
- 4 ounces cream cheese (at room temperature), cubed
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 scallion, thinly sliced
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt, more to taste
- black pepper, to taste (optional)
- ¼ teaspoon sweet paprika
- 1 to 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice, as needed
- ½ cup sharp cheddar, finely grated
- 1 small garlic clove, mashed to a paste (optional)
Directions
Place the cream cheese, mayonnaise, scallion, salt, pepper (if using) and paprika in a bowl and mix and mash well with a fork or spatula until smooth. Mix in orange juice until smooth, and then mix in the Cheddar. If the dip seems too thick, add a little more juice. Taste for seasoning. You can also mix in a food processor if you like.
