Preparation
Ensure cream cheese is at room temperature (65-70°F / 18-21°C) for optimal emulsification. Combine cream cheese and Greek yogurt in food processor bowl. (Room temperature cream cheese prevents lumps and creates a silky smooth texture)
- 45 secs
Add minced garlic, chopped herbs, green onions, and salt. Process for 45-60 seconds until completely smooth and well incorporated.
- 30 mins
Transfer to serving bowl and refrigerate for minimum 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and proteins to hydrate fully. The dip will thicken slightly as it chills.
Notes
The Greek yogurt provides tangier acidity than sour cream while adding protein. Fresh herbs are essential here — dried won't provide the same bright flavor compounds.
