You can use lower-fat cream cheese and reduced-fat sour cream in this appetizer dip, but remember that lower-fat ingredients compromise the creamy, emollient texture.
Kitchen Notes + Tips
- Thoroughly soften the cream cheese at room temperature before combining it to achieve a smooth, luscious texture.
- Using a hand mixer will really give you a silky texture.
- Adjust the sour cream and mayonnaise ratio to reach your desired consistency. More sour cream will lighten the dip, while more mayonnaise will enrich it.
- Taste the everything bagel dip before serving, and adjust by adding more salt, pepper, or lemon juice to enhance flavor.
- For optimum flavor, refrigerate the dip for at least an hour to let the ingredients meld, then serve.
Variations Or Addition
- Add a kick with chili flakes for spiciness or freshly crushed black pepper for a hint of heat and texture.
- Substitute plain Greek or regular yogurt for sour cream to lighten the dip’s texture.
- Go bold by adding ½ – 1 teaspoon of minced garlic – just avoid it for date night! lol
- Use jalapeno or pickle juice instead of lemon juice for bright acidity and tanginess.
This easy appetizer dip will delight your guests with a classic flavor combo in a different form; it’s truly a trend worth trying. Our Everything Bagel Dip Recipe is creamy, savory, and delicious.
