Course: Dip
Cuisine: American

Ingredients
  

  • 8 ounces crème fraîche or sour cream low-fat versions work well too
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives for a mild onion flavor
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill adds a fresh, slightly sweet taste
  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice for zesty kick
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk or spoon
  • Measuring spoons
  • Knife and cutting board

Method
 

  1. Begin by washing and chopping the fresh chives and dill. Make sure the herbs are finely chopped to integrate well into the dip.
  2. In a mixing bowl, add the 8 ounces of crème fraîche or sour cream. If you're using a low-fat version, it will still yield a deliciously creamy texture.
  3. Stir in the chopped chives and dill into the sour cream base, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout.
  4. Pour in the freshly squeezed lemon juice. This is the secret ingredient that gives your dip its refreshing zing!
  5. Sprinkle salt and pepper to your liking, mixing thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined.
  6. For the best flavor, let the dip chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
  • Consume within 3-5 days for optimal freshness.
  • Chilling the dip enhances the flavors, so plan ahead!
