Instructions
Place the cream cheese in a medium-sized mixing bowl. Let it soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes for easier mixing.

Gently fold in the drained clams and 2 tablespoons of the reserved clam liquid. Stir until evenly distributed. Adjust the consistency by adding more clam liquid if desired.
Mix in the green onions, saving a small portion for garnish, if preferred.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle with chopped parsley and reserved green onions for garnish.
Serve the dip chilled or at room temperature with crackers or fresh veggies for dipping.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
