This Creamy Herb Infusion is your go-to dip for any gathering, bringing fresh flavors and a velvety texture to the table. It's perfect for those who appreciate a hint of sophistication in their appetizers without the fuss.
Cream cheese provides the creamy base that makes this dip rich yet smooth. Sour cream adds a tangy note, balancing the flavors beautifully. Mayonnaise brings a subtle richness, enhancing the overall texture. Fresh herbs like chives, parsley, and dill give the dip its vibrant, garden-fresh taste. A touch of garlic adds depth, while lemon juice lifts the flavors with a bright citrus zing. Finally, a bit of milk helps achieve the perfect consistency.
This dip shines alongside a platter of fresh, crunchy vegetables like carrots, celery, and bell peppers. It also makes a delightful spread for sandwiches or wraps, adding a burst of flavor to your lunch.
Start by grabbing a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add in the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Use a spatula or hand mixer to blend these until the mixture is smooth and creamy. It’s important to ensure the cream cheese is properly softened, or you’ll end up with a lumpy dip.
Next, fold in the chopped chives, parsley, dill, and minced garlic. These fresh herbs are what make this dip truly special, so don’t skimp on them. Stir until they are evenly distributed throughout the creamy mixture.
Now, sprinkle in the salt and black pepper, and add the lemon juice. Mix until everything is well incorporated. The lemon juice doesn’t just add flavor; it also helps to maintain the dip’s freshness.
Gradually pour in the milk, stirring as you go, until your dip reaches the desired consistency. You might want it thicker for a spread or a bit thinner for dipping — it’s all up to you!
Once mixed, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least an hour. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld together, taking your dip from good to extraordinary.
