A tangy, creamy spread built on cream cheese blended with pickles, capers, pepperoncini, and fresh dill. It's the kind of thing that sounds odd until you taste it — the brine from all three pickled ingredients runs through the cream cheese and makes it savory and sharp in a way plain cream cheese never is. Use it anywhere you'd use mayo or mustard on a sandwich.

  • 1 block (8-ounce) low fat cream cheese

  • 2 cups diced pickles

  • 1 bunch fresh dill, chopped

  • 1/2 cup pepperoncini peppers

  • 1/2 cup capers

  • Salt and Black pepper to taste

  • quantity of ingredients are estimated. Play around to set it to your taste
