Darcy's Special

Sour Cream Dip

In the newest "Dish with Darcy" feature, Darcy is whipping up something seriously cool! She's mixed up a super yummy dip using sour cream and cream cheese. 

​

Darcy has put a lot of thought into this recipe. She meticulously wrote it out, shopped for the ingredients and set up the kitchen. But don't worry, she didn't forget to have some fun! In her kitchen, cooking isn't only about being serious and exact; it's about enjoying every moment.

“Cooking is like painting or writing a song. Just as there are only so many notes or colors, there are only so many flavors—it’s how you combine them that sets you apart.”

– Wolfgang Puck

Ingredients

 

  • Sour Cream: The star of this recipe. The secret to an ultra-creamy dip with a kick of tanginess. If you prefer, you can replace some or all of the sour cream with Greek yogurt. Be mindful though, this swap will lend the dip a slightly tangier edge.

  • Cream Cheese: Ensure it's at room temperature for effortless blending with the rest of the components. If you've accidentally left it in the fridge, a quick 30-second trip to the microwave can save the day. Just don't forget to remove the packaging beforehand.

  • Mayonnaise: This ingredient works wonderfully to soften the sour cream's tang while lending an additional layer of creaminess to the dip.

  • Green Onions & Herbs: We use fresh green onions, parsley, and dill in this recipe, however not everyone is a fan of fresh dill, so it is encouraged to always select your favorite herbs when making it.

  • Salt & Pepper: These staple seasonings are used to enhance the flavors. Adjust them according to your personal preference.
