Harvest Recipes: Spring Onion Cheese Dip

Just yesterday, the Saturday CSA work-day, we had our first harvest shared out. It was spring onions. What to do with a plethora of spring onions? We were musing over this and I said, "Oh just get some greek yogurt, a clove of garlic, salt and pepper and throw it in the food processor with the spring onions!" I will have to find out from Kristen if she tried it and how it was. 

While trying out some creativity with spring onions I stumbled upon a fabulous concoction. I served it  for a dinner party Saturday night as the hors d'oeuvres and it did not make it to the dinner course. It is not vegan, not really even all that healthy with the cheese, butter and bacon. But there is one thing that is for sure. I am not by any means an onion fan. But fresh picked and blended into an amazing dip the same day proves to be the key.  It was delectable...
