Ingredients
1 tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. Cajun seasoning
6 oz. cream cheese, softened
½ cup mayonnaise
½ cup finely chopped celery
¼ cup finely chopped scallions
1 tbsp. fresh lemon juice
1 tbsp. finely chopped fresh parsley
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and Cajun seasoning. Stir until the seasoning is fully incorporated throughout the cream cheese.
Add the mayonnaise to the seasoned cream cheese and blend thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
Fold in the chopped celery, scallions, and fresh parsley, stirring gently until all vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Add the fresh lemon juice and mix well to brighten the flavors and balance the richness of the cream cheese and mayonnaise.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If desired, stir in additional Cajun seasoning for extra heat and flavor.
Divide the salad among serving plates or lettuce cups, and enjoy immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
