Why This Recipe Is A Must Try
This dip is bright, creamy, and packed with fresh flavors. It’s a healthy alternative to heavier spreads and brings a refreshing twist to any snack or meal. Plus, it’s quick to make and perfect for any occasion.
Directions
Combin the sour cream, mayonnaise, garlic, parsley, tarragon, lemon juice, and anchovy fillets in a food processor or blender. Blend everything until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Once that's done, transfer it to a bowl. Next, gently fold in the minced chives so they’re evenly distributed without breaking them up too much. Give the dip a taste and add salt and pepper to your liking. Pop it in the fridge for at least an hour to let the flavors come together before serving.
