WW Festive Feta Spread - 3 pts

7 oz roasted red peppers, packed in water, drained

1 pound 1/3 less-fat cream cheese, two 8-oz blocks, softened, cut up

4 oz reduced-fat feta cheese, crumbled

1 large garlic clove(s), peeled

1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground

3 Tbsp dill, fresh, chopped

1/4 cup dill, fresh, whole sprigs

10 1/2 oz baked low-fat tortilla chips

 

 

 

 

 

Remove a 1 1/2-inch piece from one of the roasted peppers (to use for

garnish); wrap and refrigerate. Combine remaining roasted peppers,

cream cheese, feta cheese, garlic and black pepper in a food

processor; process until smooth. Add chopped dill; pulse until evenly

distributed.

 

 

Scrape mixture into a serving bowl; cover with plastic wrap and

refrigerate at least 1 hour (or up to 5 days) to firm up slightly and

for flavors to blend.

 

 

To serve, smooth surface of spread with a spatula. Arrange dill sprigs

on top in a circular fashion to form a “wreath;” cut reserved piece of

roasted pepper into tiny “berries " and place on wreath. Or create any

other decorative pattern you desire.

 

Yields about 3 tablespoons of spread and 8 chips per serving.

WW Notes: This recipe can be cut in half to serve 8, but it keeps so

well (up to 5 days refrigerated) that it makes sense to make the whole

batch to keep around for those unexpected holiday guests. Serve with

pita wedges, whole grain crisp breads or crackers and/or raw

vegetables.

 

The dip alone is 2 POINTS values for 3 tablespoons.)
