🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Mix Ingredients
In a medium bowl, combine the Boursin cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the lemon juice, garlic powder and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired
Step 2: Chill and Serve
