Ingredients
You don’t need many ingredients for this dip recipe!
- Cream cheese – You want the full fat kind, at room temperature so its soft and easy to mix.
- Sour Cream – this helps to make the dip creamy and scoopable with all your favorite dippers and gives it a nice tangy kick. You could use plain greek yogurt here, as well.
- Dill Pickles – obvious, right? Get whole pickles and chop them fine. Pickle slices are too thin and tend to not hold up well in the dip. So start with a whole pickle and then dice as finely as you want.
- Fresh Dill – This helps give it an extra boost of that awesome dill flavor.
- Green Onions – help give it great flavor and color
- Spices – we are using dried garlic powder, salt, and pepper, here to help boost the flavor. You can also sub these out for 2 Tablespoons of ranch seasoning mix.
How to make pickle dip:
This dip is so simple to make! It will only take about 10 minutes to mix up, and then needs a little rest in the fridge to help the flavors blend together well.
- Chop the pickles finely.
- Mix together the cream cheese and sour cream until you get a smooth and creamy base.
- Stir in the chopped dill, green onions, pickle juice, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Pop in the fridge to allow the dip to chill and the flavors blend together.
- Serve! I also like to serve it with a little more chopped pickle and dill on top so it really stands out.
