Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Fresh garlic cloves
- 225 grams Cream cheese
- 120 ml Sour cream
- 60 ml Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Olive oil
Instructions
Peel the garlic cloves and chop them roughly. If you prefer a mellow garlic flavor, consider roasting the garlic beforehand. To do this, wrap the cloves in aluminum foil with a drizzle of olive oil and roast at 200°C (400°F) for 15-20 minutes until soft and golden. Allow to cool before proceeding.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix well until smooth and creamy using a spatula or an electric hand mixer on low speed.
Add the chopped garlic (roasted or raw), fresh parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Drizzle olive oil into the mixture and give it one final stir. Taste the dip and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled with your choice of fresh vegetables, crackers, chips, or use it as a sandwich spread.
