Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, use a hand mixer or a whisk to beat the cream cheese until smooth and fluffy.
Step 2
Add the sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and smoked paprika to the bowl. Mix until fully combined and smooth.

Season the dip with salt and black pepper to taste, and give it one final stir to ensure everything is evenly distributed.
Step 5
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl or airtight container. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
