Description

This creamy Clam Dip is a delightful blend of tangy cream cheese, sour cream, and tender chopped clams, enhanced with zesty Worcestershire sauce, fresh lemon juice, and a hint of hot sauce. Perfectly seasoned and easy to prepare, it makes an irresistible appetizer served with potato chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

Scale

Dip Base

  • 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese
  • ⅓ cup sour cream
  • 2 tablespoons sliced green onions
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½–1 teaspoon hot sauce

Seafood

  • 1 (6.5-ounce) can chopped clams (drained, reserving 1 tablespoon clam juice)

Seasoning

  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Beat the cream cheese: Use a hand mixer to beat the cream cheese in a medium-sized bowl until it becomes smooth and creamy, creating a perfect base for the dip.
  2. Mix sour cream and flavorings: Stir in the sour cream, sliced green onions, Worcestershire sauce, fresh lemon juice, and hot sauce. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are fully combined, ensuring a balanced flavor.
  3. Add clams and seasoning: Gently fold in the chopped clams along with the reserved tablespoon of clam juice. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste, adjusting to your preference.
  4. Serve: Transfer the clam dip to a serving bowl and pair it with salty potato chips, buttery crackers, or fresh vegetables for a delicious appetizer experience.

Notes

  • You can adjust the amount of hot sauce based on your spice preference.
  • For best flavor, refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
  • If you prefer a smoother texture, consider briefly pulsing the clams in a food processor before mixing.
  • This dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Use fresh lemon juice for the brightest flavor rather than bottled lemon juice.
