Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Sour cream
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 bunch Green onions, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Begin by ensuring the cream cheese is softened. You can either leave it at room temperature for about 30 minutes or microwave it for about 15-20 seconds.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend them together until smooth and creamy.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the cream mixture and fold it in using a spatula or spoon until evenly distributed.
Mix in the finely chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
Add the chopped fresh parsley and lemon juice to the mixture. Gently stir to incorporate these ingredients evenly throughout the dip.
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, give the dip a quick stir. Garnish with additional chopped parsley or a sprinkle of paprika for an appealing presentation.
Serve the creamy chip dip with your favorite potato chips, tortilla chips, or fresh vegetables like carrot sticks, celery, or bell pepper slices.
