Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream

- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients and ensure they are at room temperature for better mixing.

- Squeeze fresh lemon juice into the bowl, being careful to avoid adding any seeds.
- Season with salt and pepper, starting with a small amount and adjusting to taste. Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together. This resting time will enhance the garlic's flavor.
- Before serving, give the dip a final stir and taste, adjusting seasonings if needed.
- Serve chilled with fresh vegetables, chips, or as a spread for sandwiches and wraps.
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Start by ensuring your sour cream and mayonnaise are at room temperature. This helps them blend more smoothly, resulting in a creamier dip.
- Mince Garlic Carefully: For the best flavor distribution, finely mince your garlic cloves. Using a garlic press can help achieve the perfect consistency.
- Adjusting Seasonings: When adding salt and pepper, start with a small amount. You can always add more later, but it’s hard to fix an overly salty dip!
- Chill for Flavor: Don’t skip the refrigeration step! Allowing the dip to rest for at least 30 minutes lets the flavors meld beautifully, enhancing the overall taste.
- Versatile Serving Options: This dip is incredibly versatile. Serve it with fresh veggies, crispy chips, or use it as a spread for sandwiches and wraps to take your meal to the next level!
