Ingredients
- 8 oz cream cheese
- 6.5 oz canned clams (minced with juice)
- 1 tbsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 tsp garlic powder
- 0.5 tsp onion powder
- 0.25 tsp salt
- 0.25 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, add the cream cheese. Allow it to soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes for easier mixing.
Step 2
Once softened, whisk or use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese until it is smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Drain the canned clams but reserve about 2 tablespoons of the juice. Add the minced clams and the reserved clam juice to the cream cheese.
Step 4
Stir in the lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Combine thoroughly until the dip is smooth and the flavors are evenly distributed.
Step 5
Taste and adjust for seasoning if needed, adding more salt or lemon juice depending on your preference.
Step 6
Transfer the clam dip to a serving bowl and garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Step 7
Serve immediately with your favorite crackers, chips, or sliced fresh vegetables. Alternatively, refrigerate the dip for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
