This Dill Pickle Dip recipe is so good, you won’t be able to stop once you start!

A favorite for pickle lovers like me, it’s perfect for dipping potato chips, pretzels, or veggies.

Ingredients in Dill Pickle Dip

I love cream cheese. I love pickles. I love dip.  

  • This dip contains only 4 ingredients, but it has great crave-worthy flavor.
  • It’s super easy to make.
  • It can be made a couple of days ahead of time making it party perfect.

Cream Cheese – A key ingredient in a dill pickle dip, cream cheese provides a smooth, creamy texture and a delicious tang. It is easy to spread and is a great base for the dip.

Pickles – Dill pickles add zesty flavor and a bit of crunch. Use your favorite dill pickles or even homemade pickles.

Seasoning – A splash of extra pickle juice adds flavor, salt and helps give it the perfect consistency while fresh dill weed adds flavor.

Tips & Variations

  • Variations – Mix in other seasonings like garlic powder, chopped green onions, a bit of ranch dressing mix, parsley, or capers.
  • Liquid – Remember to add enough pickle juice to keep the dip smooth and avoid a chip-wreck.
  • Flavor & Thickening – Allow the dip to rest in the refrigerator so the flavors can blend and it can thicken up a bit.
  • Serving – We love serving this dill pickle dip recipe with potato chips. It’s also great as a dipper for fresh veggies like carrots, celery, or cucumbers.

Ingredients  

  • 8 ounces cream cheese softened
  • ¼ cup pickle juice
  • ¼ cup chopped dill pickle
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill

Instructions 

  • In a medium bowl, stir cream cheese until smooth.
  • Gradually add pickle juice to the cream cheese, mixing well after each addition.
  • Stir in chopped pickles and fresh dill.
  • Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Consistency: Adjust the pickle juice to reach the desired consistency. The dip will thicken slightly as it chills in the fridge.
  • Pickle Juice: When scooping pickle juice from the container, try to add any of the spices and garlicky bits in the juice, they’re a great addition to the dip.
  • Dill: Fresh dill adds great flavor but you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried dill weed.

    This dip is delicious!!! The pickle juice and the pickles add so much flavor and zest to this dip, without making the consistency too liquidy. It was so easy to make and came together in a matter of minutes. I served this dip as part of a veggie tray and our guests loved it! Thanks Holly for another fantastic recipe.5 stars

    1. Spend With Pennies SN says:

      So happy you enjoyed it. This is one of my favorites too!

  5. menkens says:

    I usually start dip/spred recipes with cream cheese by at least getting the cream cheese to room temperature; but usually just toss into the microwave for 10-20 sec (definitely depends on your microwave) so mixing other “stuff” in is a bit easier! I used this as a stuffing for celery which was a huge success! Take care & enjoy!4 stars

    1. Spend With Pennies AO says:

      Thank you for the tip Menkens! I love the idea of stuffing it in celery!
