Jarlsberg Cheese Dip

Ingredients:

Shredded Jarlsberg cheese 3 cups
Mayonnaise 1/2 cup
Whole milk 2 1/2 tablespoons
Diced red onion 2 tablespoons
Fresh parsley, finely chopped 2 tablespoons
Fresh lemon juice 1 tablespoon
Salt ½ teaspoon
Black pepper ½ teaspoon
Paprika A pinch

Instructions:

Combine All Ingredients: In a medium-sized bowl, add the shredded Jarlsberg cheese, mayonnaise, whole milk, diced red onion, finely chopped fresh parsley, fresh lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and a pinch of paprika. Mix all ingredients together thoroughly until they are well combined and the dip is smooth.
Chill to Meld Flavors: If desired, transfer the dip to a serving dish. Cover the bowl or dish tightly and chill in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before serving. This chilling time is important as it allows the flavors to meld and deepen, enhancing the overall taste of the dip.
Serve:

 Serve the chilled Jarlsberg Cheese Dip with your favorite dippers like crackers, pretzels, or fresh vegetable sticks (such as carrots, celery, or bell pepper strips).
