Make the sour cream base: Add the sour cream, mascarpone, sea salt, and garlic powder to a medium sized bowl. Mix until creamy and no lumps remain. Set aside.
Make the herby vinaigrette: Add the finely chopped herbs, shallot, lemon,
garlic, sea salt, and olive oil to a small bowl. Mix to combine.
Assemble: Spoon the sour cream dip onto a large serving plate and create a large well in the center to house the vinaigrette. Spoon some of the vinaigrette into the well and add the caviar atop the dip. Garnish with extra herbs, olive oil, and red pepper flakes. Serve with rice crackers, chips, or cut veggies. Enjoy!
