How to make fresh dill dip
- Soften the cream cheese by letting it sit at room temperature for a little while, or microwave it for a few seconds.
- Be careful not to overheat it or the edges can dry out. Start with 10 seconds, stir, then microwave for another 5-10 seconds if needed.
- Use a bowl large enough to stir vigorously without spilling.
- Add all of the ingredients to the bowl and mix well until combined.
- Start with a fork, then switch to a rubber spatula to scrape the sides and fold the dip as you stir.
- Taste and add more salt and pepper, if needed.
- Cover and refrigerate until chilled. Stir well before serving.
- Garnish with extra chopped dill and serve with your favorite chips or fresh vegetables.
