You gotta get these ingredients ready for this creamy dip. First up is cream cheese, that softened goodness at room temperature makes mixing so easy. Then you wanna add sour cream and mayonnaise for that rich and tangy base.

Shredded cheddar cheese melts right in and adds that cheesy pull you’re craving. Add fresh parsley minced fine and sliced green onions for a pop of green and fresh zing. Last, if you’re feeling fancy, toss in some chopped sliced almonds for extra texture.

Serve right away or pop it in the fridge for a quick chill. Pair up with crackers, veggies, or whatever dippin’ snacks you got around. It all works real good together.
