Ingredients
Instructions

- Add sour cream, chopped green onions, chopped parsley, minced garlic, and onion or garlic salt; stir together with a spoon.
- Spoon the mixture into one or two dishes or a large compote.

Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature before mixing. You can substitute any strong cheese for blue cheese if you prefer a milder flavor. If you don't have Old English Kraft cheese, a blend of cheddar and a bit of cream cheese can work well. Adjust the garlic and onion salt to taste based on your preference for seasoning.
Serving Suggestions
Serve this cheese spread with Triscuits for a crunchy bite, or pair it with fresh vegetables like celery sticks and bell pepper strips for a healthier option. It also complements a charcuterie board beautifully. Consider serving it alongside Angie'S Potato Salad for a delightful picnic spread.
Storage & Reheating
