Ingredients
Dip Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream (or plain Greek yogurt)
- 1/3 cup mayonnaise
- 1/3 cup chives, super finely chopped (about 1 small bunch fresh chives)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp fine sea salt (plus more to taste)
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Mix: In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, mayonnaise, finely chopped chives, garlic powder, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Whisk everything together until the mixture is smooth and evenly blended.
- Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the dip into an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and develop fully. For best results, let it chill overnight. The dip will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Using Greek yogurt instead of sour cream will give a slightly tangier and lower-fat option.
- For a stronger onion flavor, you can add finely minced green onions along with chives.
- Adjust salt and pepper to taste after chilling to perfect the flavor balance.
- Serve chilled with fresh vegetables, chips, or crackers for a classic party appetizer.
