Mayonnaise - Added to give a creamy, loose texture to the dip so that it's easy to scoop up with your favorite dippers. 

Cream Cheese - Cream cheese helps to create the base for this dip and adds creaminess and bulk. 

Green Onions - We'll be added some chopped green onion into the dip, and using the rest as a garnish. 

Smoked Paprika - The smokiness of this spice pairs really well with the savory cheese. 

Garlic Powder - There's never really a bad time to add garlic to a recipe. It works perfectly here to add tons of flavor.
