You NEED to try this Dill Pickle Dip recipe! Forget about french onion dip. This dip appetizer will be a new crowd favorite! This cold creamy dip is full of fresh dill and tangy pickles. Look Out! You may eat the entire bowlful!
This dip has been haunting my thoughts for weeks. Ever since I made it for a bbq playdate it is all I can think about. Of course, I love me some pickles! So it is not surprising that I would love Dill Pickle Dip. I’m kind of obsessed with it, really.
I was in charge of bringing dips to a barbecue. I brought a piña colada dessert dip, chipotle black bean dip, and this glorious Pickle Dip.
This dip came about due to my daughter’s green thumb. Thank goodness she didn’t inherit my black thumb. If I even look at a plant it withers and dies!
She grew a dill plant that is now taller than her. So I had a lot of dill at my disposal. My plan was to make a plain dill dip. Then somewhere along the way I decided to toss in some pickles too.
This creamy, tangy, dill-y dip is so addictive! Add some salty chips and I dare you not to eat the entire batch!
Seriously. Too. Freaking. Good.

Can I use dried dill? It is all I currently have in the house.
Yes, dried dill should work just fine. Enjoy!
how much dried dill do you use?
Use 2-3 Tablespoons, give it a taste and if it needs more add some. Enjoy!
I can not print any of your receipts.
Apologies, Shirley. I will look into the issue. Thanks for commenting.
I add a bit of the pickle juice, too!
YumYum! 🙂
hi,
just wondering if the pickles are dill, also or are they some other flavor. like sweet, bread and butter
They are dill pickles.
I would like to make this ahead of time. Any idea how long it can sit in the fridge? (As long as it isnt found by others!)
It is good for a couple 2-3 days in the fridge. In fact, I think it tastes better after sitting for a day.
When using freeze dried dill, do you use the same amount?
Yes, I have used dried and freeze dried. I use the same amount with both.
Thank you for this recipe Nicole! It looks so delicious. It looks like something out of a commercial in those pictures you posted. Making my mouth water. Can’t wait to try this at home! Pickles are one of my favorites, so having it in a dip sounds delish. Thanks again!
Thanks! I can’t stop eating this dip whenever I make it!
I make a similar dip, however I don’t use dill or sour cream. I use ketchup and black pepper. It’s delicious and when my friends tried it, they all wanted the recipe.
Well that is one I’ve never heard of. I’m always interested to learn about new flavor combos 🙂
Excellent recipe. I’m adding it to my personal recipe collection to put in rotation. We’ve made it several times in the last 6 months…and it is a hit at our weekly church potluck. My lazy self started using dill pickle relish as opposed to all that pickle chopping. Tastes just the same, but saves a lot of time. I’m glad you shared this!
Haha! I am all for recipe shortcuts. This is one of my favorite dips!
