IRMA'S CREAM CHEESE GREEN ONION CHIP DIP
My mom, Irma, passed away 2 years ago, and this was one of my favorite "treats" that she made. She never liked sour cream dips, but she loved cream cheese. She found/made up this recipe before I was born. Christmas, Easter etc., a family party just wasn't a party without this dip and lots of potato chips! When I brought my boyfriend(now husband) to the first family party, he wasn't too impressed with the dip, as he was used to the saltier, stronger tasting sour cream onion soup mix dip. But now he loves it! He uses it on everything when I make it! He likes it on potato chips, of course, but also on hamburgers, hotdogs, bagels, crackers and even veggies. It has a smooth, creamy texture that enhances other foods instead of overpowering them. One of my sisters uses the basic recipe and then adds a can of drained baby shrimp-if you like shrimp, you'll love that. Other family members add garlic or other spices. I'm submitting the basic recipe that Mom used, with my addition of Bon Appetit, as that is my favorite way to do it. I hope you enjoy this as much as our family does! P.S. you can use low/no fat or Neufchatel cream cheese for fewer calories, and it still tastes good.

Steps:
- Put cream cheese in mixer bowl to soften.
- Clean and remove roots, then slice green onions thinly. Use all the white tips, most of the light green parts, and slice two or three using the dark green tops for some color. It should be 1/4-1/2 c of onion bits, to your taste. Set aside.
- Start beating cream cheese with mixer, adding milk slowly, until the mixture is smooth and creamy. You may need more or less milk to get the consistency you want.
- Add Bon Appetit using more or less, to your taste and/or any other spices or herbs you want to use.
- Add green onions and mix until they're evenly distributed. Taste and add more seasoning or more milk, as needed.
- If you add shrimp, do it last, so they don't get too broken up.
- Chill for 1-2 hrs or overnight to let the flavors blend-that never happens at our house, lol, but it does taste better the next day if you can wait!
- In a pinch, I have used regular onions, chopped fine. I have even used dehydrated onion flakes, soaked in the milk. This is a very versatile and forgiving recipe. Have fun with it!

Tips:
- Use high-quality cream cheese: For the best results, use a full-fat cream cheese that is fresh and smooth.
- Soften the cream cheese: Before mixing, let the cream cheese come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. This will make it easier to blend and will help prevent lumps.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh green onions and chives will give the dip the best flavor. If you don't have fresh herbs, you can use dried herbs, but reduce the amount by half.
- Use a food processor or blender: If you want a smooth dip, use a food processor or blender to mix the ingredients together. You can also mix the ingredients by hand, but it will take more effort.
- Chill the dip before serving: After mixing, chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help the flavors to meld and will make the dip easier to spread.
- Serve with your favorite crackers or vegetables: Cream cheese dip is a versatile appetizer that can be served with a variety of crackers, vegetables, or bread.
Conclusion:
Cream cheese dip with green onions and chives is a simple but delicious appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, can be made ahead of time, and is always a crowd-pleaser. With its creamy texture, tangy flavor, and fresh herbs, this dip is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
