Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh chives
  • 2 tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp fine sea salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Pinch cayenne pepper (optional)

Method
 

  1. Beat cream cheese and sour cream with a mixer or whisk until smooth and fluffy, about 1 minute.
  2. Fold in garlic, chives, parsley, lemon juice, salt, pepper, and cayenne until evenly combined.
  3. Transfer to a serving bowl, top with extra chives, and serve immediately.

Notes

For the best flavor, cover and chill the dip for 30 minutes before serving to let the garlic mellow. If it thickens in the fridge, let it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes and stir well before scooping.
