5 STAR REVIEWS

We’re big subscribers to dill pickled food – dill pickle potato chips, dill pickle cashews, dill yogurt, dill flavored cream cheeseโ€ฆand of course, dill pickles in their natural form – we all eat them like they’re candy. My husband even drinks the juice once the last pickle is gone.

This dill pickle dip is one of our absolute favorites! It basically follows me to every gathering, whether I’m hosting or need to bring something…and if it doesn’t make an appearance, people complain! You might want to double the recipe. It’s the first to go at parties!

Serving Suggestions

I always serve this dip with pretzel rods (that are broken in thirds), and fresh veggie sticks, like carrots and celery. But sturdy potato chips or any cracker works great, too.

Storing Leftovers

Dip should be stored, tightly covered in the refrigerator. It is best eaten within 2 days and will loosen as the days go by, but will keep up to 4.

I made this delicious dip this afternoon to take to an afternoon of game playing with some friends. It was a huge hit! Even those who were unsure were fans after trying the dip. I served it with pretzels as suggested. I’ll definitely make it again!

This dip was amazing! Made it for a game day, we usually have extra when I make a dip but we ate this all up! The kids loved it! Instead of adding onion I just added onion powder. Definitely making this again, thank you for the great recipe!

I baked this! 2 8oz pkgs of cream cheese, 1/2 pack of ranch seasoning instead of dill, added 1/4 cup of corn and topped with melted cheese. I added the cheese after baking covered.

This dip is seriously addictive. I ate the entire thing in two days and then made more. I just eyeballed the ingredients, probably added a bit extra of pickle juice and also some garlic powder. Soooo good.

Love this and will make again for sure. However because it was fairly stiff, I added quite a bit of sour cream to make it creamier.

A huge hit at our football Sunday! Everyone loved it. I might omit or reduce the salt next time. When served with potato chips it was a little on the salty side. But still delicious! Will definitely make again.

I was in a pinch to bring an appetizer for a family party. I thought this dip sounded strange but I was able to throw it together very quickly. I kid you not – it was scarfed up and gone in about 10 minutes. Everyone loved it and asked for the recipe. A definite keeper!

I really like your dill dip recipe. I make one also a bit different. Mine has no cream cheese. I use sour cream 2 parts, 1part mayo, chopped fine dill pickle, dill weed and onion salt to taste. Mix well.

Haven’t made yet, but am going to get right on it. I love Dill Pickles, I took some with me, to work with me everyday for the 33 years I worked. Always kept Dill Pickle juice on hand for Body Cramps, mostly those Darn Legs Cramps, even had my 2 daughters save their juice for me. Even Introduced to my Granddaughter & 3 Grandsons who were playing Softballl, Football & Baseball to drinking the juice for Cramps. Remember one Grandsons team thought he was crazy bringing a jar of it to practice, until some of them tried it, and yep, they started bringing a jar also !!!!!!

My family LOVES this dip. Sometimes I cheat and instead of chopping dill pickles I use dill pickle relish. It’s not quite as good but makes it one less step.

I tried your Dill Pickle Dip! Wow, that is some seriously good dip! My daughter & I love dill pickles so she also tried it and she said sheโ€™s not leaving without that recipe!

My husband and I are not straight pickle fans at all- but we LOVE Philly Dill Pickle Dip! It’s so expensive though. This comes REALLY close to that! We made it as-is the first time around, but next time we’ll use half the amount of pickles and chop them super fine. Otherwise- it tastes amazing!! Definitely on the keeper list!

Rhonda

Dill pickle juice…slurp! Yes I am a dill pickle fan, I even have dill pickle salt that I put on popcorn, boiled eggs, etc. Totally pinning this and will definitely double the recipe when I make it! BTW, traveled here via Foodgawker.

Just reading your comments sent me running to the fridge for pickles for breakfast! (Then my son – who I call Pickle because he’s my favorite thing, too, insisted on the same! LOL!) I may be making this tonight!

That’s right! After trying this dip, I might just convert back to eating dill pickles again. It was deelish!

This is like eating a pickle topped with rainbows and the laughter of babies. And I totally drank the rest of the pickle juice after Amy put the pickles in this.

February 21, 2012 10:26 am

I drink the pickle juice too Paul! I also save it for potato salad, and freeze it and make pickle juice ice….ok I’m lying about the last one, but the first two are totally true.

Rebecca
February 21, 2012 4:54 pm

Let me tell you, I’m a pickle juice person, too. But my husband is the biggest pickle juice fan of all. In fact, he likes it so much that my mom made him a special “cocktail” for him to drink at our wedding table. It was a concoction of pickle juice and black and green olive juices. It looked so nasty, but he drank it up and wanted more!

I love this dip! I made it over the weekend. So good! I want my husband to make burgers just so I can put some of this on them!

I was going to post this on my blog and then I saw that you were going to post it, so I figured I’d wait and post it next week, cause that’s what we blogger sistas do! I love that we have the kind of friendship amongst our little group that we can all make the same recipe and share it without any grips or bad feelings. I think that’s a rare thing in the blogger community.

Amy

You totally could have posted it! Honestly. But no doubt, you were thoughtful to wait. It’s interesting…I’m always thrilled when other bloggers make (and post) my stuff. It’s the highest compliment. I think Rebecca would have been thrilled if we both posted it at the same time :D
