RECIPE: Quark Cheese with Scallions and Capers

There are scallions in the farm store!!  I just used the last of the red onions my husband grew, and can no longer make the Quark with Red Onion and Caper Dip we've been enjoying, so I decided to swap out the red onions for the scallions.  Scallions aren't a pungent as red onions, so I use more of them.

Quark Cheese with Scallions and Capers

Makes 2 cups

INGREDIENTS:

• 1.5 cups quark or cream cheese
• 1/2 cup scallions, sliced into 1/8" pieces
• 1 T. capers preserved in salt, or to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

The capers I buy are preserved in Italian sea salt, and I'm loathe to throw that out.  If yours are preserved in brine, rinse them first and then add salt to taste. 

Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and stir well. 

Use as a dip for crudites or chips, or as a garnish for smoked salmon.
