Notes
For best flavor, let the dip rest even longer than 30 minutes if you have time, as the herbs and seasonings intensify as they sit; ensure the cream cheese is fully softened before mixing to avoid lumps, and if the dip is too thick for your liking, whisk in a tablespoon of milk or sour cream at a time until it reaches your preferred consistency. You can easily customize the flavor by adding finely chopped smoked salmon, crumbled bacon, or minced pickled jalapeños, but add these after the base is seasoned so you can fine-tune the salt level. Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to 3–4 days and stir well before serving again since some separation may occur.
