Steps:
- In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese, shredded cheese, chives, lemon zest and salt with a wooden spoon or spatula until well blended. Spoon onto a large piece of plastic wrap and form into an even 1-inch-diameter log. Refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours or up to overnight.

CREAMY GOAT CHEESE CHIVES DIP
This is a fresh summer dip that my sis and me came up with when needing to use up some things that were left in the fridge. It is tangy from the goats cheese with a nice freshness added by cucumber and tomatoes. Goes great with crudites and crackers. I hope youll enjoy this as much as we do!
