Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 5 ounces canned tuna (packed in water)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons green onions (finely sliced)
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons paprika
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the cream cheese. Let it sit at room temperature for 10-15 minutes to soften, or microwave for 10 seconds to achieve a spreadable texture.
Drain the canned tuna thoroughly to remove excess water, then add it to the bowl with the cream cheese.
Add the lemon juice, mayonnaise, chopped parsley, green onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl.
If you'd like a spicy kick, stir in the hot sauce at this stage.
Use a fork or hand mixer to combine all ingredients thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
Taste the dip and adjust seasoning, if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to taste.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together (optional but recommended).
Serve chilled or at room temperature with your choice of crackers, sliced baguette, vegetable sticks, or chips.
