Dip Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon Cajun seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a medium mixing bowl, add the mayonnaise, sour cream, Cajun seasoning, lemon juice, smoked paprika, cayenne powder, and ground white pepper. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well incorporated and the mixture is smooth and evenly colored.
  2. Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the dip to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least one hour, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to intensify and meld together.
  3. Serve and Enjoy: After chilling, give the dip a quick stir and serve cold with your favorite chips, vegetables, or as a sauce for grilled seafood or meats.

Notes

  • For a spicier dip, increase the cayenne powder slightly to taste.
  • The dip can be made up to two days in advance for maximum flavor.
  • Use fresh lemon juice rather than bottled for the best brightness.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Try pairing with tortilla chips, celery sticks, or grilled chicken for a delicious snack or appetizer.
