Wild Garlic Recipe: LUSH Vegan Cream Cheese Dip

I love the fresh taste of wild garlic, especially when eaten uncooked as in this cream cheese recipe: a spread you can put on anything from bagels to veggie sticks and enjoy the full flavor of this wild plant.

When the wild garlic is in season, I like to go on a walk in the morning to pick a handful of leaves, and back home breakfast or a little snack is ready within minutes.

You can use this wild garlic cream 'cheese' either as a dip for crackers or veggie sticks, or as spread on any kind of bread (it goes well with both a light bread, such as a baguette, or with a darker type, such as a sourdough bread).

Why not try it with baked or cooked potatoes? You see, the possibilities are (almost) endless.

If you don't want to buy plant-based cream cheese but want to give it a try making it at home, have a look at my my easy recipe for vegan cream 'cheese' for directions.
