Benedictine Spread
 
 
Makes 1 cup
Ingredients
  • 1 cucumber, peeled and seeded
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons ricotta
  • 1 tablespoon finely diced red onion
  • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
  1. Grate the cucumber using the large holes of a box grater. Wrap the grated cucumber in cheesecloth and squeeze to remove as much liquid as you can. (See notes)
  2. Place the cream cheese and ricotta in a medium bowl and beat with a mixer on high speed until smooth.
  3. Add the cucumber and onion and stir to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. Scoop spread into a bowl and chill for at least 1 hour. Serve on toasted bread or with crackers.
Notes
If you don’t have cheesecloth, you can use a coffee filter.
