Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 6.5 ounces canned clams (with juice)
- 0.5 cup black olives, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, soften the cream cheese by allowing it to sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes or by microwaving it for 15 seconds.
Using a hand mixer or a whisk, beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
Drain the clams, reserving 2 tablespoons of the clam juice, and add both the clams and the reserved juice to the bowl.
Fold in the finely chopped black olives, sour cream, and fresh lemon juice, mixing until evenly combined.
Add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper, stirring until the spices are well incorporated.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice as desired.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Garnish with a sprinkle of paprika or a few extra chopped black olives before serving, if desired.
Serve cold with crackers, chips, or fresh vegetable sticks such as celery or carrots.
