Creamy Garlic Cilantro Dip

INGREDIENTS

  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

  • 1/4 cup cream cheese

  • 1/4 tsp unrefined salt

  • 1/4 tsp onion powder

  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

  • 1-2 cloves fresh minced garlic (or more if desired)
    OR use 2-4 finely chopped garlic scapes

  • juice of 1/2 lime (optional)

  • 1 sliced green onion (optional)

INSTRUCTIONS

Add the cream cheese and mayonnaise to a bowl and stir together with a fork to reach a uniform creamy consistency. Sprinkle the salt and onion powder and stir, then stir in the chopped cilantro, minced garlic, (and green onion if using). Taste and adjust seasonings as desired. For a thinner consistency and a bit more bite, stir in the lime juice. Variation: omit the cream cheese and use an extra 1/4 cup of mayonnaise, but be sure to use the lime juice. You may need the juice of a whole lime depending on how juicy your lime is.
