Servings: 1 cup
Calories: 92kcal
Ingredients
- ¾ cup full-fat sour cream
- ¼ cup full-fat mayonnaise such as Hellman's or Kewpie
- Salt and black pepper
- ½ teaspoon onion powder or garlic powder
- 1 small garlic clove finely grated, about ⅛ teaspoon
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice plus more as needed
- ¼ cup finely chopped chives
For serving:
- Potato chips, tortilla chips, or crudites
Instructions
- In a serving bowl, combine all ingredients except the chives. Note: I recommend adding half of the garlic, tasting the dip, then adding more garlic if desired to prevent it from tasting too punchy.
- Stir in ¾ of the chives. Taste the dip and adjust seasoning as needed. Garnish the dip with the remaining chives. Note: It will take some time for the flavors of the dip to marinate properly.
- Refrigerate for at least one hour (and up to 1 day) before serving. Just before serving, try the dip again by dipping a chip or crudite in to check seasonings.If it's too creamy, ensure it's well-seasoned with salt and pepper. You can add more chives or garlic if needed. Serve with potato chips, tortilla chips, or crudites. Enjoy!
Notes
Storage: This dip should last 3 - 4 days stored in an airtight container in the fridge. You can also make it up to one day ahead.
TIP: If you're planning to serve this with fresh veggies, make the dip slightly punchier than you think it needs to be—crudites tend to dull flavors, so be generous with salt, garlic, and chives.
