Mozzarella Dip

This mozzarella dip leans hard into a creamy, tangy base made with mayonnaise and sour cream, and loads it up with shredded cheese, a hit of onion and just enough seasoning to keep you reaching back for more. It’s thick but still scoopable, with the kind of rich, spreadable texture that clings to whatever you dunk in it. Parmesan sharpens the edges and pulls the whole thing into balance.

Serve this mozzarella dip straight from the fridge with cold cucumber spears, carrot sticks and bell pepper strips for a cool crunch, or go for warm, salty dippers like pretzel nuggets or potato wedges. Thick-cut kettle chips and homemade crackers won’t snap under the weight, and leftover garlic bread makes an unexpectedly great match. You can even spoon it into celery ribs or swipe it onto sandwich bread like a spread. However you serve it, don’t skip the chill time—you want the flavors to meld.
