Dill Pickle Dip Recipe

Dill Pickle Lovers rejoice! This creamy dill pickle dip is BURSTING with flavor in mere minutes. A perfect appetizer dip, you can even make this dip ahead for ease at holiday and football party planning.

I hesitate to use the term “5 minutes” because nothing takes 5 minutes by the time you get it all out of the fridge, but this dip, complete with cream cheese, is simple and fast and what I would consider instant – no baking, no cooking, and really no-nonsense.

What goes good with Dip?

Dips are nothing without things to dip INTO the dip! There are so many ways from carb-filled to carb-less dippers.

• Potato Chips
• Tortilla Chips
• Bits of bread like torn French bread, Garlic Bread or even hardened crostini
• Pickles (really!) – add Pickle Spears to the tray
• Pretzels
• Veggies like celery, cucumbers, and sliced peppers
• Bacon Wrapped Pickles
• Mini Pigs in a Blanket

How to make 5 Minute Dill Pickle Dip

• Using your favorite brand and flavor of pickle, chop down fresh pickles into bite sized pieces. Hamburger or sandwich pickles are super easy to cut because you can stick them.
• Mix together all dried spices, sour cream, softened cream cheese and pickles and pickle juice.
• Cover and refrigerate dip for at least 1 hour for best flavor (helps seasonings soften and combine) or overnight is fine too if you want to make ahead. As a note, this dip can be eaten immediately, however as with all dips, its best to let chill first.

• Serve dip chilled, with potato chips or one of the dippers listed above. 
• Cover and refrigerate any leftover pickle dip.
• Makes 2-1/2 cups of dip.

Print

Dill pickle dip is a delicious flavorful dip that brings out the pickle lover in you! Easy to make with cream cheese and sour cream, the combined seasonings are delicious when used as a chip dip, veggie dip, or to go bold, even wings! This recipe can also be made the night before, making it the perfect make ahead appetizer for holidays and football parties.

Prep Time 10 minutes

Total Time 10 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 brick, 8 oz, cream cheese, softened
• 8 ounces sour cream
• 1 cup diced dill pickles
• 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dry dill weed
• 1 /4 cup dill pickle juice
• potato chips for serving

Instructions

1. Take cream cheese out of fridge and unwrap and leave on counter for about 30 minutes prior to assembling dip. This allows a lot easier mixture as cold cream cheese tends to be hard and gets caught in hand mixers and whisks easily.
2. Chop pickles into bite sized pieces. The pickle pieces can be diced down into smaller pieces or left with larger chunks.
3. Combine softened cream cheese, sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and all seasonings. Whisk well.
4. Add in cut up pickles and pickle juice and thoroughly mix again.
5. Dip is best served cold, so plan for at least 1 hour in fridge to help marinate flavors as well as chill dip.
6. Cover and refrigerate any leftover dip for up to 3 days.
