Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup finely chopped dill pickles
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon fresh or dried dill weed
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Finely chop the dill pickles and set them aside to ensure every bite has a perfect tangy crunch without overpowering the creamy base.
  2. Mix the Creamy Base: In a bowl, combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy, forming the foundation of the dip.
  3. Add the Flavor Boosters: Sprinkle in onion powder, garlic powder, dill weed, salt, and pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings and create the signature dill pickle dip zest.
  4. Fold in the Pickles: Gently fold the chopped dill pickles into the creamy mixture, balancing the creamy base with fresh tang and crunch.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the dip for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve chilled with chips, veggies, or crackers and enjoy!

Notes

  • Use quality pickles that are crunchy and flavorful to ensure the dip shines.
  • Let cream cheese sit at room temperature to make mixing smoother.
  • Refrigerate the dip well to intensify the flavors before serving.
  • Taste and adjust seasonings gradually to find the perfect balance.
  • Fresh dill is preferred for a brighter herb flavor but dried dill works well too.
