Remove the cream cheese from the refrigerator and let it sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes.

Place the softened cream cheese into a medium mixing bowl.

Add the sour cream to the bowl with the cream cheese.

Open the Knorr vegetable dip mix packet and sprinkle it evenly over the cream cheese and sour cream.

Using a wooden spoon or silicone spatula, stir the mixture until the seasoning is fully incorporated and no streaks of cream cheese remain.

Take a small spoonful and taste the dip; add salt and black pepper if needed.

Gently fold in the chopped chives and parsley if using them.

Spoon the dip into your serving bowl and smooth the top with the back of a spoon.
