Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream (8 ounces)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- ½ cup chopped chives
Instructions
- Stir together sour cream, mayonnaise, onion powder, garlic powder, and pepper in a medium bowl.
- Stir in chives, reserving ½ teaspoon to garnish.
- Cover with plastic wrap and put in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes to allow flavors to meld.
- Sprinkle with reserved chives to serve.
Notes
Store your sour cream dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will last for 3-5 days. Stir well before serving. Unfortunately, like most dairy-based foods, this dip does not freeze well.
The chilling step is crucial for the best flavor, so make sure to make this dip in advance.
For the cleanest cuts when you are chopping chives, use either kitchen scissors or a very sharp knife. A dull knife will crush the chives rather than cutting through cleanly, and the chive dip won’t be as pretty when you stir it together.
