2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Grate the Jarlsberg cheese using the coarse side of a box grater.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise and sour cream until smooth.
3. Stir in the red onion, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
4. Gently fold in the grated Jarlsberg cheese until combined.
5. Add the chopped chives, reserving a small amount for garnish.
6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend.

Notes
Use freshly grated cheese instead of pre-shredded for the creamiest texture.
If you prefer a milder onion flavor, soak chopped red onion in water for 10 minutes before adding.
Make ahead of time and chill overnight for best flavor.
