Step 1: Dip ... Add the cream cheese, cream, sour cream, shallot, garlic (and, make sure to grate them over the food processor, to get all the juices), 1 teaspoon lemon juice, OPTIONAL anchovy paste, all the herbs; and, a pinch of both salt and pepper to a food processor. Now, if you use the anchovy paste, I suggest not adding any salt. Pulse until you get a smooth creamy texture.
Step 2: Re-season with any additional salt and pepper if necessary. You can also add a bit more lemon juice, or a bit more cream if you want a thinner dip. It is completely a personal preference.
Step 3: Note ... Make sure to use fresh herbs for this dressing - it is absolutely a must. This is best made a few hours in advance, so all the flavors can develop. But, at least let it rest 30 minutes before serving. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
Step 4: Serve, Plate, and ENJOY! ... Add the dip to a bowl; and, plate with your favorite dippers. Perfect for BBQ's, potlucks, parties, etc. Or; great to make up to have in the fridge for a snack! It will last about 5 days.
