4 oz cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons whipped salad dressing
2 tablespoons green onions, minced
1-2 teaspoons tarragon, dried or 2 tablespoons fresh
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Place all ingredients in food processor. Pulse on and off until well mixed. Spread on well-buttered bread or buns for sandwiches. Makes 1 1/4 cups or 4 sandwiches.

To Freeze: Wrap in freezer bags. Label and date. Freeze for up to 6 weeks.
