Ingredients

Scale

Dip Ingredients

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup dill pickles, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle juice
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Combine Dairy Base: In a medium bowl, mix together the sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth and well blended, which forms the creamy base of your dip.
  2. Add Pickles and Seasonings: Stir in the finely chopped dill pickles, dill pickle juice, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder. These ingredients add layers of tangy, sharp, and savory flavors to enhance the dip.
  3. Add Fresh Dill and Season: Incorporate the fresh chopped dill into the mixture, then season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences. This fresh herb adds brightness and complexity.
  4. Mix Thoroughly: Stir all ingredients thoroughly until everything is evenly combined, ensuring every bite delivers consistent flavor.
  5. Chill the Dip: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the dip to thicken for optimal taste and texture.
  6. Serve: Once chilled, serve the dill pickle dip with your choice of chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables to enjoy as a delicious appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • For a tangier dip, increase the amount of dill pickle juice to 3 tablespoons.
  • Use full-fat sour cream and mayonnaise for a richer texture, or opt for low-fat versions for a lighter dip.
  • Make the dip a day ahead to deepen the flavors even more.
  • Fresh dill can be substituted with dried dill; use about 1 teaspoon dried dill.
  • Adjust garlic powder and seasoning to your preference for a subtle or more pronounced garlicky kick.
