Very good dip, but make sure you refridgerate overnight. Otherwise it is too bland.

I liked it, though I modified it. I used about 4-5 cloves of crushed or minced fresh garlic, which had enough of a bite to eliminate the need for the red pepper. Instead of parsley, I added some basil, garlic powder (different taste than fresh garlic), and white pepper. If you have lemon pepper, toss in some of that, too. Delicious and easy! Best with pretzels; also good with tortilla chips and fresh veggies.

Pretty tasty, hubby loved it.

This had a bit more of a kick to it than some people at my party preferred - but I didnt mind it. It was different enough from your average dip that I liked it, but it wouldnt be for someone who doesnt like a spicy type dip.

I doubled the garlic (I can never get enough!) and added a dash of lemon juice. This is a good base to tweak to personal taste. Thanks for sharing!

The basics were what I was looking for, but if you like garlic, it needs a TON more.

I added this to my recipe box....Now I'm deleting it :-(

I have been making this recipe for about 3 years since I first found it on here, and it has never failed to be a huge success. On our ladies weekends at the beach, the standard request is that I double or triple the recipe in order for enough to go around. We like it best served with hot, fresh french bread or baquettes. Once I went to make it, thinking I had the recipe memorized--but indeed I didn't and accidently increased the garlic and peppers to 1 TB each, and everyone seemed to like it better, so I stuck with it. I also substitute light mayo and sour cream--no one notices! This is a staple in our house, and among our friends. If you're looking for something quick and simple, give this is a try. Despite some of the negative reviews on here, this recipe has been nothing but a success for me!

I can't figure out all the comments about it tasting strong in garlic. I could hardly taste it. What I tasted was red pepper, which I thought was a bit hot and perhaps covering up the garlic flavor. So I made another sample, cutting the red pepper in half. It tasted like sour cream and I still couldn't taste much garlic. It shouldn't be called "garlic" dip if it takes a bunch of red pepper to make it taste like something. The vegies we had at Labor Day BBQ just wiped out any flavor this had (and 3 of us agreed). And yes, I refrigerated it overnight. Later I dumped more garlic powder in the leftovers and was just starting to taste it. I used the leftovers w/chips and that allowed me to taste the garlic a bit better. Not worth trying to fix this up.

Huge hit at my house on Christmas!

Wow, you people are far too easily pleased.

This is the best recipe for dip I've ever tried! It was simple & quick to make and had the perfect flavor. I prepared it for a baby shower and served it with fresh baguettes and it was GONE! I've had several recipe request as well! Thanks for the recipe!!

This is terrific if you're a garlic lover, like myself! It does taste best after sitting in the refrigerator for a few hours atleast.

This was really great but definitely needed some time to sit before serving. I tasted it right after mixing and it tasted like just plain sourcream. 30 minutes later, it was really good. I had added more garlic powder (before it set) and it was great.

Just made this for a Super Bowl party to serve with potato chips--and there wasn't one bit left! Contrary to other opinions, I didn't think the garlic flavor was overwhelming. I think the red pepper intensifies the garlic flavor. Next time, I might back off just a shade on the crushed red pepper. It doesn't make much--at a minimum, you'll need to double--probably triple for a "party sized" poortion. This is also terrific w/veggies. So good & so easy--thanks!

i used this recipe for a food technology assignment at school and it was voted best dip in the class it tastes great and looks it too

I made this dip but left out the red pepper. It was great, espescially if you let it refridgerate for about 24 hours. I made the beer bread recipe found here also, cut that up into bite size chuncks and dipped it in the dip! Everyone at my party loved and asked for the recipe. It is very strong-not ment for someone who dosn't like A LOT of garlic!

A little strong on the garlic, guess I was looking for something a little milder. Would be good with bread/bagel bits and veggies more than the crackers/chips we had I think.
