    Vegetable Cream Cheese Dip

    Published: Jan 14, 2011 · Modified: Jan 18, 2022 by Faith · This post may contain affiliate links · 47 Comments

    You might remember me mentioning my love of everything bagels a while ago; what I didn’t tell you is that my favorite way to enjoy them is spread with veggie cream cheese.  Such a perfect pair, those two; which is why when I recently made everything crackers (recipe coming soon!), the natural thing for me to make with them was this dip. 

    In this recipe, you’re not limited to using the veggies I used; feel free to use whatever you like or have on hand.  (Try to stick with veggies that don’t give off too much water though, since they could add too much liquid to the dip.)  You can serve this dip with crackers, toasted bread, pita crisps, and/or crudités.  And I can say from experience that it is also fantastic on bagels.  :)

    Vegetable Cream Cheese Dip

    (Yield:  about 4 c)

    12 oz cream cheese, at room temperature

    1 c sour cream or Greek yogurt

    1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

    1 teaspoon soy sauce

    1 medium-large carrot, peeled and finely shredded

    1 c finely chopped fresh broccoli

    ⅓ medium red bell pepper, finely diced

    ⅓ medium red or sweet white onion, finely diced*

    ½ teaspoon salt and ⅛ teaspoon pepper (more or less to taste)

    Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl; taste and season with additional salt and pepper as desired.  Refrigerate and serve chilled.

    *To mellow out the flavor of the onion, after dicing, soak it for 15 minutes in cold water, then drain, pat dry, and proceed with the recipe.  Or if you prefer, you can use scallion or chive.

      I've been searching and looking and oh my GOSH! (lol) for a veggie cream cheese (I got addicted at a great bagel company in Canada). I'm also learning to make bread, and I'm just going to have to try this cheese, and see if I can make bread balls stuffed with it (for church) ^_^ yummy! thanks so much for posting this!

      Bagels: I first ate them in Australia, with crispy bacon, mayonnaise sauce and lettuce. Your dip makes mouths water.

      YUM. It almost looks nutritious... but, really - it is nutritious... just a little high in fat - but with that yummy cheese - cannot get it here - but had it in Paris this summer - deadly - and veggies? With whole wheat crackers. YUM! Or, just give me a spoon. I have usually seen this made with a dried vegetable soup mix.

      Faith, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways: raw brownie batter, baked apple fritters, roasted corn chowder, the fishbowl I still daydream about, chicken and dumplings, oooooooooh the French onion soup with all the fabulous tips, and among many others, vegetable cream cheese dip!! Oh girl, I so have to make this b/c like you, I'm an everything bagel girl. Love it. And I've never had a spread like this--it makes my mouth water to think of the flavor! Thank you so much for the recipe. Those crackers are calling me too.

      This looks and sounds delicious. I made a dip similar to this when my children were all at home. Yours is much healthier. The base of ours was a dehydrated soup mix that had enough sodium to meet the needs of the immediate world. I hope you are having a great day. Blessings...Mary
