The best dip you will ever make!

herb dip ina gartenThe cashier at the grocery store tonight asked why I bought two packages of low-fat cream cheese, and I said, “To make dip, of course.” I go through gobs of it at the holidays, and it is so easy to have on-hand. This is my hands-down favorite recipe and very pantry/fridge friendly.

Tip: Go to the International Food aisle, and you can pick up a packet of dried dill for $1.25. Much better than the $5 in the spice aisle.

Honestly, I get asked all the time for this recipe. Try it! It was a hit at Thanksgiving. Best part is you can make it a day or two in advance. It’s the perfect recipe for the holidays!

Herb Dip

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 4 green onions, white and green parts, minced
  • 2 teaspoons dried parsley leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 3/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder or 2 cloves of fresh garlic minced
  • Place the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, green onion, parsley, dill, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Blend with an electric mixer or Kitchen Aid mixer, if you are so blessed. Serve at room temperature for veggies. Chilled for crackers. Make a day ahead and the flavors blend even better.

    Makes 2 cups

    (To convert to fresh ingredients, 1 teaspoon dried = 1 tablespoon fresh)

    Let me know how the recipe works for you!
