Ingredients
- 2 6.5-ounce cans canned minced clams
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Drain one can of minced clams thoroughly, reserving the clam juice from the second can for later use.
Step 2
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to blend until smooth and creamy.
Step 3
Add the minced clams (from both cans), lemon juice, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and sea salt to the cream cheese mixture. Stir or mix gently until all the ingredients are well incorporated.
Step 4
If the dip feels too thick, gradually add small amounts of the reserved clam juice to reach your desired consistency. Mix thoroughly after each addition.
Step 5
Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Step 6
Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and optionally garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Step 7
Serve immediately with sturdy crackers, toasted baguette slices, or fresh vegetable sticks. For best flavor, allow the dip to chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes before serving.
