We tried to keep it a bit lighter this year during Thanksgiving so I lightened up this wonderful veggie spread. It's refreshing and delicious with either crackers or sliced veggies. It's also great on fresh bagels or finger sandwiches. It keeps well in the refrigerator for a week or so.
Veggie Spread
2 cucumbers, peeled & quartered
2 carrots, peeled & sliced
1 red pepper, seeded & quartered
1 medium onion, quartered
1/2 cup diced celery
1 envelope unflavored gelatin
2 Tablespoons lemon juice
3/8 cup mayonnaise
2 teaspoons dried dill
8 ounces neufchatel cream cheese
Combine all veggies in a food processor & finely mince. Drain in a sieve & then either place in cheesecloth, a kitchen towel or your hands & squish out as much moisture as you can. Set aside. Disslove gelatin in 1/4 cup water. Combine gelatin & remaining ingredients & mix until smooth. Stir in vegetable mixture until well blended. Serve with either crackers, sliced veggies or bread (dark and/or light). Refrigerate leftovers.
