Ingredients
Scale

- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt

Instructions
- Place the softened cream cheese in a medium bowl.
- Use a hand mixer or a sturdy spoon to beat the cream cheese until it is smooth and fluffy.

Notes
- If you prefer a smoother texture, pulse all ingredients briefly in a food processor.
- For a richer flavor, substitute half of the sour cream with crème fraîche.
- Garnish the top with a sprinkle of extra dill or everything bagel seasoning before serving.
- This dip tastes even better made a few hours ahead of time.
