This creamy dill pickle dip is one of those recipes people don’t expect to love as much as they do. Every time I put it out, someone asks for the recipe, then hovers near the bowl until it’s gone. It’s tangy, ultra-creamy, unapologetically pickle-forward, and exactly the kind of dip that disappears first at game day, potlucks, and parties.

FAQs

Can I make this ahead of time? Yes. This dip actually tastes better after a few hours in the fridge and keeps well for up to 3 days.
Do I need fresh dill? Fresh dill gives the best flavour, but you can increase the dried dill slightly if needed.
Can I bake this dip? This version is designed to be served cold for the best flavour and texture. You can bake it, but it will lose some of its bright, tangy pickle flavour.
