INGREDIENT NOTES:
CREAM CHEESE:
- The creamy, tangy basis of cream cheese provides the rich flavor & silky texture of this dip. Utilize whole fat cream cheese to make the keto dish.
SOUR CREAM:
- Sour cream lightens the dip in addition to adding a cold, somewhat tangy flavor. It aids in counterbalancing the cream cheese’s thickness. Go for full-fat sour cream for a smoother consistency and fewer carbohydrates.
ONION POWDER:
- Add this to enhance the savory taste of dip and it also add the subtle sweet taste. It balances the taste of the herbs and garlic. A little goes a long way.
MAYONNAISE:
- Mayonnaise makes the dip extra creamy by adding richness and a smooth texture. It adds flavor without adding carbohydrates. It works best with a high-quality mayo that contains healthy fats.
LEMON JUICE:
- Lemon juice cuts the creaminess of the cheese & brightens the overall flavor. It adds a tangy, fresh note. Freshly squeeze lemon juice is the best.
GARLIC POWDER:
- The addition of garlic powder enhances the dip’s subtle, savory flavor. It offers a lot of depth but is gentler than raw garlic.
SALT:
- Salt will balance & enhance all of the acidic and creamy flavors. Use fine sea salt to ensure equal mixing.
BLACK PEPPER:
- The dip gains a subtle earthiness and spice from the black pepper. It enhances the freshness of the herbs. Fresh black pepper provides the nice taste.
CHIVES:
- The flavor of fresh chives is crisp and fresh, with a hint of onion. They also add a lovely splash of color to the dip. Always cut things coarsely before combining.
PARSLEY:
- The crisp, herbaceous flavor of fresh parsley complements cream cheese in this dip. Additionally, it gives the dip a bright, new appearance. Use parsley with flat leaves for optimal flavor.
