Ingredients

  • 2 8 oz. cream cheese, Philadelphia Original, at room temperature
  • 4 6.5 oz. cans minced or chopped clams, (like Bumble Bee brand) , drained and the liquid reserved
  • 1 small white onion , grated, 2 or 3 tbsp
  • 3 shakes Worcestershire sauce , approx. 1 tsp or to taste
  • 1/4 tsp kosher salt

Instructions

  • Place cream cheese, onion, Worcestershire sauce, drained minced clams, and salt in a medium sized mixing bowl and beat with a hand mixer.
  • Add 2 teaspoons of reserved clam juice and mix it in. Add more juice in small amounts until the dip has the consistency of guacamole.
  • Serve right away or chilled for 1 or 2 hours with potato chips

Notes

  1. Reduced fat cream cheese is not recommended. It makes a thin tasting dip.
  2. Consistency: When adding the reserved clam juice to thin, go slowly as it is easy to make the dip too runny.
  3. Calories are based on 2 tablespoons of the clam dip without chips.
