Ingredients

• 4 pieces Fresh garlic cloves
• 225 grams Cream cheese
• 120 ml Sour cream
• 60 ml Mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Peel the garlic cloves and chop them roughly. If you prefer a mellow garlic flavor, consider roasting the garlic beforehand. To do this, wrap the cloves in aluminum foil with a drizzle of olive oil and roast at 200°C (400°F) for 15-20 minutes until soft and golden. Allow to cool before proceeding.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix well until smooth and creamy using a spatula or an electric hand mixer on low speed.

Step 3

Add the chopped garlic (roasted or raw), fresh parsley, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir thoroughly to ensure the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 4

Drizzle olive oil into the mixture and give it one final stir. Taste the dip and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.

Step 5

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover it with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Step 6

Serve chilled with your choice of fresh vegetables, crackers, chips, or use it as a sandwich spread.
