Smoked Gouda Veggie Dip

Great with celery, peppers, or any favorite raw veggie. Combine your ingredients with a mixer, not a food processor, so you have actual little bits of Gouda in the dip.

Ingredients

• 1 package (8 ounces) cream cheese, softened
• 2/3 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup shredded smoked Gouda
• 6 scallions, including the crisp part of the green shoot, sliced
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper

Directions

1. Beat the cream cheese and mayonnaise together until creamy, scraping the sides of the bowl often.
2. Add the Gouda, scallions, Parmesan, and pepper, and beat until well blended.
3. Chill, and serve with raw vegetables.
