Scale

Core Ingredients

  • 1 cup finely chopped dill pickles
  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried dill weed
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pickles: Finely chop the dill pickles to ensure each bite has a tangy crunch that complements the creamy base without overpowering it.
  2. Mix the Base: In a medium bowl, blend the softened cream cheese with sour cream or Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy to achieve the perfect dip consistency.
  3. Add Seasonings: Sprinkle in onion powder, garlic powder, dill weed, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until the herbs and spices are evenly distributed, infusing the dip with fresh and savory flavors.
  4. Fold in Pickles and Lemon Juice: Gently fold the chopped dill pickles and fresh lemon juice into the creamy mixture, blending flavors well without breaking the smooth texture.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld beautifully. Serve chilled with your favorite dippers such as pretzels, crackers, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

  • Use fresh, crunchy dill pickles for the best flavor and texture.
  • Soften cream cheese to room temperature prior to mixing for a smoother dip.
  • Adjust tanginess by adding more lemon juice or pickle juice as preferred.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors blend and dip thicken.
  • Serve chilled to maintain freshness and optimal flavor.
