Begin by softening the cream cheese. Leave it out at room temperature for 15-20 minutes or use the microwave at low power for about 10-15 seconds until just softened.
In a mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Beat with an electric mixer or whisk until smooth and fully combined.
Add the lemon juice to the mixture and stir well to incorporate.
Finely chop the fresh parsley, dill, and chives, and add them to the bowl.
Sprinkle in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
Mix everything together all again until the herbs and spices are evenly distributed throughout the dip, making sure there are no lumps.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together nicely.
Serve chilled with your choice of veggies, chips, or as a spread. Enjoy!
