This is great as a dip or a spread. Serve with wheat pita wedges and [[Jack cheese|Monterey jack]] / [[Colby]] marble cheese slices.

* 1 tsp minced [[garlic]]
* ¼ tsp [[lemon juice]]
* ⅛ tsp [[black pepper]]
* 8 oz fat-free [[cream cheese]]

== Procedures ==
# Place half of the jar (about 1 – 2 large pieces) in a blender and add the [[garlic]], [[lemon juice]], and [[black pepper]].
# Purée.
# Add the [[cream cheese]] and blend until smooth.
