Ingredients
Scale
Main ingredients
- 8 ounce cream cheese (softened)
- 1 tablespoon whole-grain Dijon mustard
- 1 teaspoon dried chives
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground is always best)
- 0.25 teaspoon cayenne pepper (just a whisper of heat)
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl, plop in your softened cream cheese. Don’t be shy! Add in that whole-grain Dijon mustard.
- Now, let’s sprinkle in all those lovely dried herbs and spices: the chives, parsley, thyme, garlic powder, lemon juice, paprika, black pepper, and that little kick of cayenne.
- Grab your spoon or spatula and stir everything until it’s wonderfully combined. You want it to be smooth and creamy, with all those flavors mingling together like old friends. Take a peek – doesn’t it look delicious already?
- You can absolutely serve this dip right away if you’re in a pinch! The softened cream cheese makes it perfectly spreadable. Or, if you have a few minutes to spare, pop it in the fridge for about 30 minutes to let those flavors meld even more. It’ll be a little firmer, which is also fantastic.
Notes
This dip can be made a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator. Let it sit at room temperature for 15-20 minutes before serving. It stays fresh for 3-4 days.
