Step 1

Drain the canned minced clams, reserving 2-3 tablespoons of the clam juice for added flavor.

Step 8

If desired, fold in chopped fresh parsley for added color and freshness.

Step 9

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. This step is optional but highly recommended for the best taste.
