Garlic & Chive Cheese Spread

Ingredients:

• 1.5 lb cream "cheese" ("Tofutti Better Than Cream Cheese"--Non-Hydro is what I use)
• 3 tbsp canola oil
• 2 tbsp brown rice syrup
• 2 tbsp minced garlic
• 1 tbsp powdered garlic
• 1 tbsp cider vinegar
• 2 tsp lemon juice
• 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
• 1 tsp dill
• 1/4 cup filtered water
  
• Fresh chives to taste (about 2g worth)

Add all ingredients to a food processor and blend on high to combine.  Refrigerate over-night for flavors to meld and spread to thicken.  For a dip instead of a spread, double the water to 1/2 cup, or until desired consistency is reached.
