Dairy-free Herbed Cream Cheese

This creamy Vegan spread is a great snack or appetizer! Smooth and tart, it tastes just like cream cheese, except it is dairy-free, made with coconut butter and lemon juice. Use your favorite herbs – I used fresh dill and parsley. It’s also yummy with basil, sage, and cilantro on Pumpernickel No-Rye BreadTry it with Gluten-free Herb Crackers, or No-Cheese Crackers. It can be a dip for veggies, or anything you’d use cream cheese for.  Just blend, chill and serve. Makes 1 1/2 cups.
