Who doesn't love a good sour cream dip? Cool mayo and sour cream balance out the spices. Addicting with plain potato chips or carrot sticks.
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon mild curry powder
1/8 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
Combine all the ingredients in a bowl and mix with a wire whisk until mixed.
Use immediately or store in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Let the dip sit in the refrigerator for a few hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld together.
Try different spices and herbs to create your own unique dip flavors.
For added crunch, mix in chopped nuts, seeds, or crispy bacon before serving.
Avoid using metal utensils when serving the dip as they can react with the acidic ingredients.
To make a thicker dip, strain the sour cream before mixing to remove excess liquid.
Add a sprinkle of cayenne pepper or hot sauce for a spicy kick.
Use the dip as a sauce for grilled meats or roasted vegetables.
Try mixing in a bit of honey or brown sugar for a touch of sweetness to balance out the tangy flavors.
Make a double batch for a party or gathering to make sure you have enough dip for everyone.
You can substitute mayonnaise with Greek yogurt for a healthier version of the dip.
If you don't have onion powder, you can finely mince a small amount of fresh onion instead for a similar flavor.
Feel free to adjust the amounts of onion powder, curry powder, paprika, and Worcestershire sauce to taste.
It's best to let the flavors meld together for at least 1-2 hours in the refrigerator before serving for the best taste.
Unfortunately, this dip does not freeze well due to the mayonnaise and sour cream consistency changes when frozen.
This dip goes well with various dippers like potato chips, tortilla chips, veggie sticks, or even as a spread on sandwiches or burgers.
You can customize the dip by adding chopped fresh herbs, grated cheese, minced garlic, or hot sauce for a different flavor.
You can use low-fat or non-fat versions of sour cream and mayonnaise for a lighter dip, but note that the texture and flavor may be slightly different.
Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, giving it a good stir before serving again.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
