Frequently Asked Questions
Can I make this dip ahead of time?
Yes! In fact, this dip tastes even better when made ahead because the flavors have more time to blend. You can prepare it a day in advance, cover it tightly, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
How long does Dill Pickle Dip keep in the fridge?
Stored in an airtight container, it will keep for three to four days. Just give it a quick stir before serving, as some liquid from the pickles may separate.
Can I lighten this recipe up?
Definitely. You can use reduced-fat cream cheese, light sour cream, and/or turkey bacon to cut back on calories. Keep in mind that the texture and flavor may be slightly different, but still delicious.
What are the best pickles to use?
Fresh, refrigerated dill pickles work best because they have a crisp texture and bright flavor. Jarred shelf-stable pickles will work too, but they may taste a little softer or more vinegary.
