Ingredients Needed
- 225g cream cheese, room temperature
- 120g (½ cup) sour cream, room temperature
- 120g good-quality mayonnaise
- 3 scallions (spring onions), chopped (about 75g or ¾ cup)
- 4g fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
How To Make Veggie Dip
- Blend the ingredients: Add all ingredients to a food processor fitted with the steel blade.
- Pulse until combined: Pulse 10 to 12 times until just blended but not pureed.
- Serve: Transfer to a serving bowl and serve at room temperature with fresh veg or crisps.
Recipe Tips
- Use room-temperature ingredients: Ensure the cream cheese and sour cream are at room temperature for a smoother blend.
- Chop herbs finely: Finely chopping the scallions, parsley, and dill ensures even distribution and enhances flavor.
- Pulse, don’t puree: When using the food processor, pulse the mixture to maintain a desirable texture; avoid over-processing.
