Why I Like this Recipe

I make this when I want something quick and don’t feel like cooking. It’s light but still filling on bread or crackers. The gherkins add a nice kick, which I like, since otherwise it would be a bit plain.

Tips and Variations

  • Use Skyr instead of yoghurt if you want a thicker texture and a little more protein.
  • Add a teaspoon of mustard for a sharper taste.
  • Mix in fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or dill to boost the flavour.
  • Use low-fat curd cheese to keep it lighter.
  • Spread it on wholegrain bread or crispbread for a simple, light meal.
  • It also works well as a dip with carrot sticks, cucumber, or rice cakes.
  • Add some shredded chicken to make it a more filling meal.

Meal Storage

Store the carrot spread in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Stir before serving. Let it sit out for 5 to 10 minutes before eating for the best taste.
