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, it’s best to let it 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.

How long can Pickle Dip be stored?

Dips keep for approximately three days safely in the 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.

Stir before enjoying again- this is going to be one of your most popular, amazing, and quick dip recipes ever.

What kind of Pickles’ go best in Pickle Dip?

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 use chopped hamburger pickles because you can stack three together and cut them into small cubes and dice them for this recipe; plus, the pickle juice is just 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.
