SO delicious!! I LOVE vegetable cream cheese but never buy it because Philadelphia doesn't make a reduced fat version. Now I can just buy plain reduced fat cream cheese and make my own vegetable cream cheese! I did not use the smoked salmon because I really don't like salmon so my review is just for the cream cheese alone. I didn't use an electric mixer like the recipe said, I just mixed the room temperature cream cheese with a rubber spatula in a bowl, I don't see any reason to dirty the electric mixer for this. It's great because you can half the recipe if you are only making it for yourself or make the full amount if you having guests over. Very versatile and very yummy! It will become a regular in my refrigerator.

Really delightful! Served this for Easter appetizer before ham and everyone loved it. The vegetable cream cheese adds such a special touch versus just the normal plain cream cheese. I used my mandolin and "grated" the radishes (and onion for topping. I used my vegetable dicer device from Williams Sonoma to get perfect tiny cubes of the celery and carrots. So fresh and springy! Oh, and I served six adults easily with this amount and still had a little leftover. I thought I'd have to double it but not so. Thanks, Ina!

I made this recipe for bagels I took to work. It's super easy to make, delicious and everyone loved it. I will never buy store bought again. I need to try this with the smoked salmon next. I will make this again very soon. Would love to experiment with more flavors! THANKS INA
