Provided by Melissa d'Arabian : Food Network

Time 5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 green onion, chopped
3 tablespoons roughly chopped fresh basil
1 large clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup prepared mayonnaise
3 tablespoons sour cream
1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Blend the green onion, basil, garlic, mayonnaise, sour cream, and Worcestershire sauce in a blender until creamy and pale green. Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper, if needed.

Tips:

  • If you don't have sour cream, you can use plain yogurt instead. Just be sure to use full-fat yogurt, so the dip is thick and creamy.
  • If you like your dip a little spicy, you can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chili powder.
  • Serve the dip with your favorite dippers, such as chips, vegetables, or crackers.

Conclusion:

Basil sour cream dip is a delicious and versatile dip that is perfect for any occasion. It's easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste. Whether you like it spicy, tangy, or creamy, this dip is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy appetizer or snack, give this basil sour cream dip a try.
