The Best Dill Pickle Dip Recipe
What makes for the best Dill Pickle Dip ever? Let’s see…
- Simple, easy ingredients
- Packed with 3 kinds of dill: dill pickles, fresh dill, and dill pickle juice!
- Perfectly tangy
- Thick ‘n creamy texture
- Easy to customize: While I recommend using 1/4 cup of dill pickle juice, you can start with just 3 tablespoons and build up on that depending on the thickness you desire.
- With a secret ingredient: homemade garlic salt! This ingredient takes a good dill pickle dip and makes it great. That slight twist of garlic, salt, and herbs makes this dip something special.
Dill Pickle Dip Ingredients & Tips
- Cream cheese + sour cream: the combination of these two creamy and tangy ingredients makes for a perfectly balanced dip that’s mouthwatering. Make sure to soften these two ingredients for a well-blended dip that’s easy to make.
- Dill Pickles
- Fresh Dill – don’t skip this one in favor of dried dill. Fresh has a better, more robust taste.
- Garlic Salt or… (highly recommended secret ingredient)
- Dill Pickle Juice – simply save from the jar of dill pickles!
How to Make Dill Pickle Dip
It’s so easy to make this dill pickle dip recipe. In just a few steps, you have the best ever dill pickle dip that’s creamy, tangy, and packed full of incredible flavor.
First, grab a medium bowl and stir softened cream cheese and sour cream with a large fork.
Then, stir in pickles, fresh dill, and garlic salt until very well mixed.
Now it’s time for the customization. Stir in pickle juice–you can go with 1/4 cup as I did, or start with just 3 tablespoons and increase for your desired consistency.
What to Serve with Dill Pickle Dip
You can make this dill pickle dip ahead of time, up to 4 hours. But the thing I love about this dip? You can whip it up and serve it immediately!
- Appetizers: I love dipping apps such as air fryer onion rings, homemade french fries, and air fryer potato wedges in this recipe!
- Veggies: try a fresh platter of carrots, sliced bell peppers (or even roasted bell peppers), or raw broccoli. Or try pairing with a platter of my Caprese Skewers for a fancy spread.
- Salty snacks: the crunch of potato chips, pretzels, baked tortilla chips, and more go so well with this!
- For the sweet finale: try this easy, 3 ingredient peanut butter dip.
How to Store
Serve dill pickle dip immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 hours. I wouldn’t recommend freezing this dip, as the high content of water and fat will lead it to separate–ever try freezing cream cheese?
