Ingredients
Scale
Base
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup sour cream
Pickle Mixture
- 1 cup chopped dill pickles (about 4–5 spears)
- 2 tablespoons pickle juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 tsp dried dill)
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Seasoning & Garnish
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: 2 tablespoons chopped green onions or chives
Instructions
- Mix base: In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Use a spoon or mixer to blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined with no lumps.
- Add flavor: Stir in the chopped dill pickles, pickle juice, fresh or dried dill, garlic powder, and the optional green onions or chives, ensuring everything is evenly incorporated.
- Season: Taste the dip and add salt and pepper according to your preference to balance and enhance the flavors.
- Chill (optional): You can serve the dip immediately or chill it in the refrigerator for 15 to 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld for a richer taste.
- Serve: Garnish with extra dill or green onion if desired. Serve the creamy pickle dip with chips, crackers, or fresh veggies for dipping.
Notes
- Using fresh dill provides the best flavor, but dried dill is a good substitute.
- The pickle juice adds tang and helps thin the dip slightly for easier scooping.
- Chilling the dip is optional but highly recommended to enhance flavor melding.
- Try mixing in other herbs like parsley or chives for different flavor profiles.
- For a spicy kick, add a dash of cayenne pepper or a few drops of hot sauce.
