I had seen this recipe in an All Recipes Magazine. The recipe used butter which I promptly replaced with fat free Greek yogurt. It was such a savings on saturated fat and the taste didn’t suffer at all. I also added some salt which I felt was really needed. But this is a tasty spread. While this would taste great on any crackers, for my spread I used a mix of La Panzella Mini Croccantinis and these thin 34 degree Rosemary flavored crackers. The thinly cut veggies on top add a great pop of flavor to the rich spread.
I found the tiniest tomatoes called SPRINKLES at my local sprouts that were just perfect as a topping. They are so tiny and I just cut them in half and “sprinkled” them on top. If you can’t find those, grape tomatoes or small cherry tomatoes, quartered, will work just fine.
I served these as part of a finger food only Mother’s Day lunch. Since I’ve already had this several times, I’m sure it will be in regular rotation as a spread on crackers or a dip for veggies.
