Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon dried onion flakes
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (chives, parsley, dill, or your choice)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Measure Ingredients: Gather 1 cup of full-fat sour cream, 1 tablespoon of dried onion flakes, ½ teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped herbs, and ¼ teaspoon of salt to prepare for mixing.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Pour the sour cream into a medium mixing bowl. Add the dried onion flakes, garlic powder, fresh herbs, and salt directly into the bowl with the sour cream.
  3. Mix Thoroughly: Stir the ingredients together using a spoon or small whisk until the herbs and seasonings are evenly distributed throughout the sour cream, ensuring a uniform flavor throughout the dip.
  4. Chill to Develop Flavors: Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap or transfer the dip into an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and intensify.
  5. Adjust Seasoning: Before serving, taste the dip and adjust the seasoning as needed. Add more salt or extra herbs if desired to enhance the flavor profile.
  6. Serve: Serve the dip cold alongside your favorite chips, fresh vegetables, chicken wings, or use it as a savory spread.

Notes

  • Use fresh herbs according to your preference for variations in flavor.
  • For a lighter version, substitute full-fat sour cream with low-fat or Greek yogurt.
  • Allowing the dip to chill overnight enhances the depth of flavor.
  • Adjust garlic and onion powder amounts depending on desired potency.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
