Main Ingredients
- 1 cup crunchy dill pickles, finely chopped
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened to room temperature
- 1/2 cup sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Your Ingredients: Finely chop the dill pickles and fresh dill into small pieces to ensure an even distribution of flavor throughout the dip.
- Soften the Cream Cheese: Allow the cream cheese to come to room temperature so it mixes smoothly and avoids lumps.
- Combine All Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, sour cream or Greek yogurt, chopped pickles, fresh dill, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and fully incorporated.
- Chill for Best Flavor: Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and deepen, enhancing the taste.
- Serve and Enjoy: Stir the dip once more after chilling, transfer it to a serving bowl, and pair with your favorite crackers, chips, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
Notes
- Use firm, crunchy dill pickles to maintain a lively texture.
- Always soften cream cheese and sour cream to room temperature for easier mixing and better consistency.
- Adjust salt and spices gradually, tasting as you go to achieve balanced flavor.
- Chilling the dip enhances the melding of tangy and creamy flavors—don’t skip this step.
- Opt for fresh dill rather than dried for a brighter, more vibrant flavor.
