- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Notes
Cream cheese: Let it soften on the counter first so the dip stirs up smooth with no lumps.
Make ahead: Make it up to 1 day ahead and keep it covered in the fridge. Add the garnish right before serving.
Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days. Don't freeze it, because the creamy base turns watery and grainy when it thaws.
