Saw this recipe on The Nate Berkus Show, during a segment with chef Michael Chiarello. This dip is easy to make, and handy to have around. Great for parties, since you can make it ahead of time.

    Transfer cheeses into a bowl and stir in green onion and garlic. Add oregano, rubbing between your fingers to release its fragrance. Add remaining ingredients and stir well.
