  • 2 Tbsp sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1 Tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

  4. Taste and adjust seasoning—add a little more lemon juice or pepper if desired.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • For a lighter version, substitute half of the cream cheese with plain Greek yogurt or low-fat cream cheese.
  • Use crème fraîche instead of sour cream for a richer, tangier flavor.
  • To vary texture, pulse ingredients in a food processor to desired smoothness.
  • Add a pinch of smoked paprika or finely chopped capers for extra briny flavor.
  • Great for spreading on bagels at brunch or serving as an appetizer at gatherings.
