Super Creamy Garlic Parmesan Dip
Ingredients:
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly grated is best!)
- 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 2-3 cloves garlic, minced (or 1 tablespoon garlic powder)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (for brightness)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Mix the base:
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, and cream cheese. Stir until smooth and well-blended.
- Add the garlic and cheese:
- Add the minced garlic (or garlic powder) and Parmesan cheese to the mixture. Stir to incorporate everything.
- Season and adjust:
- Add the lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix well.
- If you like your dip a little thinner, you can add a teaspoon or two of milk to reach your desired consistency.
- Chill and serve:
- Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together (though you can enjoy it right away too!).
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving, if desired.
Tips:
- For a lighter version, you can use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
- Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes if you like a little heat.
- Serve with veggies like carrots, celery, or cucumber, or with crackers, pita chips, or toasted bread.
This dip is super creamy, garlicky, and has just the right amount of cheesy goodness. Perfect for a quick snack, a party appetizer, or a side to any meal! Would you like a different type of creamy recipe?
