Over here at Greek Girls Gourmet we are loving the vegetables of spring and today Green Onions are in the spotlight.  They turn what could be another ho-hum cream cheese dip into one you Just. Can’t. Stop. Eating.  It comes together in just a few minutes and is delicious right away or perfect to make ahead, even if it’s just for family movie night. Be sure to use full fat cream cheese.  This is one time where you don’t want to miss out on all that flavor.

I have to say this dip is versatile: spread it on crackers or cucumber slices; dip in chips, carrots or cherry tomatoes; stuff it in celery and top with raisins… it even pairs great with apple slices.  But don’t stop there! It is amazing on a fresh-from-the-oven baked potato or as your secret sauce on summertime burgers.

And let us know how you use it. We’d love to hear from you!
