How To Make
✱ Be sure to see the recipe card below for exact ingredients and instructions!
Step 1 | Prep the Ingredients
Begin making your creamy dill pickle dip by using a cutting board and a sharp knife to chop your pickles, red onion, and fresh dill weed.
Step 2 | Measure and Scoop
Next, you can take out a medium-sized bowl and combine the measured amounts of cream cheese, sour cream, and chopped ingredients. Add in the Pickle juice, pepper, and garlic pepper.
Save some set-aside pickles and dill to garnish the top.
Step 3 | Stir to Combine
Using a rubber spatula, gently fold and stir all the ingredients together until well coated and mixed.
Step 4 | Chill and Serve
One good thing about this recipe is that you can serve it immediately. However, you can also chill the creamy dip to allow the flavors to incorporate and the cheese mixture to firm and thicken.
Then you can serve it in a dip bowl and sprinkle the remainder of the diced pickles and dill weed alongside some of your favorite crackers, chips, or veggies.
Tips
- Salty- This recipe is naturally salty from the pickles. There is no need to add any salt when you mix in the fresh ground black pepper.
- Make ahead- Make this recipe the day before and store it in the fridge in an airtight container. Then it is ready for the table the next day, just when you want it.
- Go fresh- Nothing beats fresh dill in this recipe. It is softer and more gorgeously green in the dip. And the flavor is so much richer when freshly chopped.
