List of Ingredients
1 8-ounce package cream cheese (reduced fat is fine, but not nonfat), softened
1 1-pound container sour cream (about 2 cups)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
3 to 4 tablespoons minced red onion
2 cloves minced garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon cayenne (optional)
1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 to 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (optional)
Salt to taste
Round loaf of bread (for a bowl) Recipe
Step 1
Using an electric mixer, beat the cream cheese until light and fluffy, about 1 minute.
Step 2
Blend in the sour cream, then stir in the parsley, onion, garlic, and mustard. Add the lemon juice, basil, paprika, cayenne, and Parmesan cheese; stir.
Step 3
Stir in 1 teaspoon of the Worcestershire sauce. Taste, then decide if you want to add more. Add salt to taste. Assess the texture: If necessary, thin it by whisking in milk a teaspoon or so at a time. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
Step 4
Serve the dip in a hollowed-out loaf of bread, with dipping vegetables and crackers arranged in a star. Makes 3 1/2 cups of dip.
