Dill pickle livens up a creamy dip.
Dill pickle might just be one of the most tantalizing flavors, and its potential extends far beyond a jar of Refrigerator Pickles and Turkey Burgers.
.Pickles’ punch of acid makes them a dream pairing with traditionally creamy or fatty foods, and they also provide welcome crunch.
It’s why I love them as a variation on potato chips (Air Fryer Spicy Dill Pickle Chips) and creamy dishes like Dill Pickle Chicken Salad.
That crunch + acid makes dill pickle a winner for creamy dips, and this easy recipe lets them star.
In typical Well Plated fashion, I lightened up this recipe by using a high protein base of Greek yogurt blended with cottage cheese. It tastes a bit like a cross between my favorite Greek Yogurt Ranch Dip and Homemade Tzatziki Sauce, with a pickle punch.
Tips for the Best Dill Pickle Dip
- Use Good Quality Pickles. Since this recipe has so few ingredients (and pickles are the star!) make sure you use high quality, super crunchy pickles. I like chopping up pickle spears here because you can control the size of the pieces, but thicker pickle chips work also.
- Chill for 30 Minutes. It’s hard to wait, but the chill time is critical to allow the dip to thicken up and the flavors to marry.
- Salt to Taste. Pickles are pretty salty, so start with less salt, then add to taste.
Serving Ideas
- Chips. The best. Go the extra mile by making Air Fryer Potato Chips or Air Fryer Tortilla Chips, or grab a bag of pita chips.
- Fresh Veggies. Carrots, celery, red bell peppers, and even thinly sliced radishes are all great with pickle dip.
- Do More Than Dip. In addition to dipping, I love a big blob of this dip on top of meal bowls like this Burger Bowl and on Smash Burgers in place of pickles.
