FAQs
Can I make the dill cream cheese spread ahead of time?
Yes, the spread can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Stir well before using.
What can I substitute if I don’t have fresh dill?
Dried dill can be used, but reduce the amount to about 1 teaspoon since it’s more concentrated. Alternatively, fresh chives or parsley provide a different but lovely fresh herb flavor.
