What kind of Pickles to Use

There really are so many pickles on the market and if you have a specific brand or flavor YOU love, you can certainly choose it. That being said, some pickles are easier to cut than others. Personally I used hamburger pickles because you can stack 3 together and cut them into small cubes and dice them for this recipe, plus the pickle juice is so tasty!

Other types of pickles that are not dill, but also can be used in this recipe, are Gherkin, Bread and Butter, and Sweet Pickles.

Dill Pickle Dip Done in 5 Minutes

Mix all ingredients together and cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (helps seasonings soften and combine) or overnight is fine too if you want to make ahead. 

Serve dip chilled, with potato chips or one of the dippers listed above. 

Cover and refrigerate any leftovers.

Makes 2-1/2 cups.

 

How long to Store in Fridge: Dips keep for approximately 3 days safely in fridge, sealed well from extra moisture and fridge smells. You could probably store longer well sealed, but I never advocate for long storage versus creating fresh.
