Tips
- Drain your clams thoroughly to prevent a watery dip - pat them dry with paper towels for the best texture.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the brightest, most vibrant flavor - bottled juice just can't compare.
- Let the dip chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld and intensify.
- For extra richness, consider using full-fat sour cream.
- Experiment with garnishes like chopped chives or a sprinkle of smoked paprika for added visual appeal and flavor.
- Serve with a variety of dippers - from classic crackers to fresh vegetable sticks for different textures.
