Garlic Herb Goat Cheese Dip/Spread
Ingredients
- 10.5 oz package of plain goat cheese this is larger log available at most stores
- 1.5 TBSP extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp fine ground sea salt
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup fresh herbs, finely chopped I love to use chives, basil and rosemary
Instructions
- Remove goat cheese from the fridge and leave on the counter for 10-15 minutes to come closer to room temperature. You don’t have to do this is you’re pressed for time, but it makes it much easier to whip.
- Place all ingredients in a medium bowl – goat cheese, olive oil, garlic powder, sea salt, black pepper, and herbs. Use a fork or a masher to thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated.
- Once mixed, put in a container of choice. You won’t have a choice but to eat some right away!
Notes
- Serve with chopped veggies, rice or seed crackers, or plantain chips. It’s also really yummy on sourdough bread!
- I’ve made it with real garlic before and believe it or not, it wasn’t as good as it is with the garlic powder! You can play around with it, but everyone voted for garlic powder. If you like things really garlicy, feel free to double the garlic powder.
- Store in the fridge for up to a week. It gets better as the days go on and the flavors meld.
- I use fine ground Celtic Sea Salt. I’ve tried a lot of sea salt in my time, and this is the one I come back to for flavor and nutrients.
