Crunchy Vegetable Spread

[Guest guest]

I love collecting recipes for veggie dips and spreads. I posted one earlier last

week, but here is another that has a slightly different flavor with a bit of

lemon juice and shredded cucumber. They are very delicious and can add a

lot of versatility when used as a sandwich spread on a nicely toasted bagel. I

haven't tried using the light cream cheese with this recipe, but I imagine you

could do that and it would still taste wonderful.

In a small bowl, beat cream cheese and lemon juice until smooth. Stir in

vegetables and pepper. Serve with crackers or breads. Yield: about 2 cups
