  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried dill
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and creamy using a whisk or electric mixer.
  2. Add seasonings: Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, dried dill, salt, and black pepper until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  3. Chill the dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the dip to firm up slightly.
  4. Serve: Remove from refrigerator and serve chilled with an assortment of crackers or fresh vegetables for dipping.

  • Customize the dip by adding chopped fresh herbs like chives or parsley.
  • Can be made a day ahead to enhance flavor melding.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • For a lighter version, use low-fat cream cheese and sour cream.
