Step 1

Begin by ensuring the cream cheese is softened. You can either leave it at room temperature for about 30 minutes or microwave it for about 15-20 seconds.

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend them together until smooth and creamy.

Add the shredded cheddar cheese to the cream mixture and fold it in using a spatula or spoon until evenly distributed.

Step 4

Mix in the finely chopped green onions, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.

Step 5

Add the chopped fresh parsley and lemon juice to the mixture. Gently stir to incorporate these ingredients evenly throughout the dip.

Step 6

Taste the dip and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 7

Transfer the dip to a serving bowl, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 8

Before serving, give the dip a quick stir. Garnish with additional chopped parsley or a sprinkle of paprika for an appealing presentation.

Step 9

Serve the creamy chip dip with your favorite potato chips, tortilla chips, or fresh vegetables like carrot sticks, celery, or bell pepper slices.
