Make sure to check out all the different variations below!

- Garlic, fresh minced is best (or garlic powder), about 4 cloves or however many you'd like
- About 1/4-1/2 an onion, chopped small (or about 4 green onions chopped, or you could just use onion powder or dried onion)
- Sea salt and possibly pepper too, depending on your tastes and which dip you're making — if it tastes blah, that almost always means it needs more salt
- 8 ounces cream cheese , softened. Organic is best, or this homemade yogurt cheese if you have it on-hand--it tastes similar and has probiotics too!
- About 2 cups sour cream , more or less is fine – the less you use, the thicker the dip; the more you use, the creamier the dip
- Optional: Various herbs like parsley, oregano, more garlic powder, etc., depending on which dip you're making
- Real cream (whipping cream) if you want it a little lighter if you're dipping potato chips or something that breaks easily.
Mix the above together and add in the following options below, depending on which variation sounds good to you. You can use a hand mixer to get it extra smooth if you'd like. If you add extra cream to make it lighter, just add more herbs, salt and pepper to make sure it's tasty!
