Herbed Cheese Dip

• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 cloves garlic, peeled
• 1 teaspoon lemon juice
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives
• 1 tablespoon fresh basil
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
• 8 ounces (1 brick) cream cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste

Place Parmesan cheese, garlic, lemon juice, parsley, chives, basil and onion powder in Mini Master Prep Bowl. Secure top and pulse in quick bursts until Parmesan cheese is almost grated. If starting with grated Parmesan cheese, pulse until herbs are finely chopped.
Remove top and use a spoon to push mixture down, away from the walls of the bowl.
Add cream cheese, re-secure top and pulse in quick bursts for 15 seconds, until cheese and herbs are well combined. Salt and pepper to taste and serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 days.

Bob's Tip: Just about any fresh herbs work well in this recipe. Try oregano or thyme in place of the basil or even 2 teaspoons of dried Italian seasoning if you're in a pinch. Low- fat or even fat- free cream cheese works great too for the best low- fat dip around!
