How to Make Dill Pickle Dip

Here are the ingredients you need to make this dill pickle dip, plus step by step instructions for how to make it.

Ingredients

8 oz package cream cheese, softened
½ cup sour cream
2 tbsp pickle juice
⅓ cup dill pickles, chopped
1 tsp fresh dill, chopped

Step by Step Instructions

1. Start by chopping your dill pickles into small, bite-sized pieces. You want them small enough that they’re easy to scoop with chips or crackers, but still chunky enough to give the dip that satisfying crunch. Next, chop the fresh dill. You’ll need about a teaspoon of dill to give it a fresh, herby kick.

2. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and pickle juice. Use a hand mixer or a spatula to mix everything together until it’s smooth and creamy. Make sure all the ingredients are well-blended, so the base has a nice, uniform texture.

3. Once the base is smooth, gently fold in the chopped pickles and fresh dill. Stir them in carefully so they’re evenly distributed throughout the dip, without losing the chunky texture of the pickles. This is where the dip gets its signature flavor—so make sure every bite will have a bit of pickle goodness!

4. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour. This allows the flavors from the pickle to meld with the cream cheese and sour cream, making the dip taste even better.

5. When ready to serve, transfer the dip into a serving bowl, and for a little extra touch, sprinkle a bit of fresh dill on top as garnish. It adds a nice pop of green and a little more fresh dill flavor to the dip. Now, it’s ready to serve! Grab your chips, crackers, or veggies, and enjoy!

Next time you’re looking for a simple and tasty appetizer, give this dill pickle dip a try. It’s got that tangy pickle kick we all love, with the creamy texture that makes it perfect for dipping. Plus, you can make it ahead of time, which is always a win.
