Fresh Herb Cream Cheese Dip

This herb cream cheese dip is the perfect dip to pair with just about anything! Quick and easy to make and full of fresh herbs, try it with your favorite chips, crackers, or raw veggies.

There are lots of dips out there that you can make for a party but my favorite one is a light and creamy dip that goes with everything!

This cream cheese spread reminds me of the store bought version you find in the cheese section but better!

It’s light, creamy, and full of fresh herbs like this lemon herb rice, that are perfect for eating witch crackers, veggies, and cheese.

I like a few baby carrots with mine but your favorite crackers or tortilla chips will work just fine too!

Some of my other favorite dips to make for game day are my ranch dip, my 3 ingredient chip dip, and this poolside dip.

Ingredient Notes

• Cream Cheese – You can use the full fat, reduced fat, or fat free cream cheese versions. Just be sure to soften or bring it to room temperature before mixing to avoid clumps.
• Sour Cream – You can substitute plain Greek yogurt for this if you like.
• Herbs – Fresh herbs like parsley and dill, are always best, but if you are in a pinch or don’t have any you can use dried herbs. Just use about half the amount as they will have a stronger flavor.

Storage & Prep

This dip will last a few days in the refrigerator if covered tightly. Just stir before serving.

You can also make this ahead of time. The longer it sits the more the flavors enhance! I like to make this a day or two ahead of time and just give it a good stir before serving.

Tapas Tips & Tricks
