Spicy Clam Dip

  • Total Time: 10 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • ¼ cup plain Greek yogurt (2% or full fat work well)
  • 2 (6-ounce) cans minced or chopped clams, drained well
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons lemon juice (we recommend freshly squeezed but prepared lemon juice works great, too)
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • Dash hot sauce
  • Dash of cayenne pepper, optional (if you prefer extra spicy)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Raw vegetable crudites, whole grain crackers or favorite chips for dipping

Instructions

In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese and yogurt; whip and smash with a fork to remove lumps and mix to make creamy. Add clams, garlic, lemon juice, Worchestershire sauce and hot sauce; mix to combine. Fold in fresh chives and cayenne pepper (if using). Season with salt and pepper, and garnish with chives, if desired. Serve immediately or chilled, with raw vegetables, crackers or chips for dipping.
