Ingredients

Scale

8 oz cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup dill pickles, finely chopped
2–3 tablespoons pickle juice
2 tablespoons fresh dill, minced (or 2 teaspoons dried dill)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder (or 1 small clove fresh garlic, finely grated)
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 scallions or green onions, thinly sliced (optional)
Salt & black pepper, to taste
Optional: 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
Optional: 1 tablespoon chopped jalapeños
Optional: Chopped fresh parsley or chives for garnish

Instructions

Remove cream cheese from the fridge and let it sit at room temperature for 20–30 minutes, or microwave for 10-15 seconds until softened.
Finely chop dill pickles, reserving 2–3 tablespoons pickle juice from the jar.
Mince fresh dill and slice green onions.
In a mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese and sour cream until smooth and fluffy.
Add chopped pickles, pickle juice, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and half the green onions. Stir until well combined. Mix in cheddar or jalapeño if using.
Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld (optional).
Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with reserved green onions, extra dill, and pickle slices.

Notes

For best flavor, chill the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving. Adjust thickness with more sour cream or cream cheese as needed. Use dairy-free alternatives for a vegan version. Blot pickles dry if dip is watery. Garnish with fresh herbs and extra pickles for presentation. Serve with sturdy chips, veggies, or use as a sandwich spread.
