Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cans (6.5 ounces each) canned minced clams
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional)
- as desired potato chips, crackers, or vegetable sticks for serving
Instructions
Drain the canned minced clams, reserving 2-3 tablespoons of the clam juice for added flavor.
In a medium mixing bowl, soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for 10 minutes or microwaving it for 10-15 seconds.
Using a hand mixer or a sturdy whisk, beat the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Gradually mix in the sour cream until the mixture is well-combined and fluffy.
Stir in the drained clams and the reserved clam juice, mixing thoroughly.
Add Worcestershire sauce, lemon juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir until all the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Taste the dip and adjust flavoring, adding more Worcestershire sauce, salt, or lemon juice to taste.
If desired, fold in chopped fresh parsley for added color and freshness.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but highly recommended for the best taste.
Serve chilled with potato chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks. Enjoy!
