Gather all ingredients and ensure cream cheese is softened at room temperature.
Chop the fresh parsley and dice the green onions, then set aside in separate bowls.
In a medium-sized bowl, add softened cream cheese and sour cream together for smooth blending.

Using a hand mixer or a fork, beat the cream cheese and sour cream until well combined and creamy, with no lumps.
Add lemon juice, garlic powder, smoked paprika, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
Gently fold in the chopped parsley and diced green onions.

Transfer the dip to your serving bowl and smooth the top for presentation.
Chill the dip in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to mingle the flavors, or serve immediately if needed.
Enjoy with your choice of raw veggies, potato chips, tortilla chips, or crackers.

For best results, let the dip sit overnight in the fridge to enhance flavors. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 5 days.
