Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1 cup dill pickles, diced (use your favorite minis or spears)
  • 3 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix

Instructions

1. Mix the Base

In a medium bowl, add the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Use a hand mixer to beat until smooth and creamy with no lumps.

Add the ranch seasoning mix (and the optional garlic or pickle juice if using), then stir until everything is well combined.

2. Add The Pickles

Dice your dill pickles into small bite sized pieces. Stir in about ¾ of the diced pickles into the creamy base, reserving the rest for garnish.

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed, as some pickles and ranch mixes are saltier than others.

3. Finish and Serve

Scoop the dip into a serving bowl, then sprinkle the remaining diced pickles on top. Chill the pickle dip for 15–30 minutes if you want the flavors to blend more, or serve it immediately.

Serve cold with crackers, tortilla chips, pita bread, pretzels or even veggie sticks.

4. Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Make sure to give it a good stir before serving again.

Notes

Tips and Variations:

  • Make it lighter: Use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream for a tangier, high-protein version.
  • Want extra pickle tang?: Add a splash of pickle juice to the dip for even more bite.
  • Spice it up: Toss in a pinch of cayenne or diced pickled jalapeños for a spicy twist.
  • Make ahead: This dip tastes even better after a few hours in the fridge.
