Time 10m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon chopped chives

Steps:

  • Add the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, salt and chives to a bowl. Mix together, and then cover and chill until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cheese: The type of cheese you use will greatly impact the flavor of your dip. For a classic creamy dip, use a mild cheese like cream cheese or sour cream. For a more flavorful dip, use a sharp cheese like cheddar or blue cheese.
  • Add mix-ins: To add more flavor and texture to your dip, try adding mix-ins like cooked bacon, chopped vegetables, or herbs. You can also add a touch of sweetness with honey or maple syrup.
  • Don't overmix: Overmixing your dip will make it thin and runny. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined.
  • Chill before serving: Chilling your dip before serving will help it to thicken and firm up. This will make it easier to dip and will also help the flavors to meld.

Conclusion:

Creamy dips are a delicious and versatile party food. They can be made with a variety of ingredients, so there's sure to be a recipe to please everyone. Whether you're looking for a classic dip like ranch or guacamole, or something more unique like a bacon and blue cheese dip, you're sure to find a recipe that you'll love.
