  • 1  tablespoon  (1 ounce) 1/3-less-fat cream cheese, softened

Combine all ingredients except bread in a small bowl; mash with a fork until well blended. Serve with bread.

Great for a wine and cheese type party on crackers or bread. Takes no time at all to prepare and can be made ahead.04/18/06
