Ingredients

  • 1-inch green ½ cup low fat sour cream
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt

  • ¼ teaspoon Tabasco® or other hot sauce
  • 1½ cups crumbled Gorgonzola

Preparation

Place the cream cheese, sour cream, salt, pepper, and Tabasco® in the work bowl, process to blend until creamy, about 15 seconds; scrape work bowl. Place the reserved green onions, Gorgonzola, and toasted nuts on the creamed mixture in that order. Pulse to blend in, about 10 times.
  3. Transfer to a small decorative bowl and cover. Refrigerate for 1 hour or longer to allow flavors to blend. If refrigerated longer than 1 hour, remove 10 minutes before serving.
