Dill pickle dip is the perfect dip to serve a crowd and it only takes minutes to toss together. I’ve never met a pickle lover that tried this dip and didn’t ask for the recipe!

Let’s pretend for just a moment that I’m sharing this recipe with you for the Superbowl or some other super important get together where there will be many people clamoring for dip.
Let’s pretend that I have never in my life made this in preparation of a night of television watching with just me, my chips, my dill pickle dip, and an overly full DVR.
You see, people aren’t meant to eat a half of a pound of cream cheese all by themselves in one sitting. So, we’re pretending I didn’t do that. Got it?
I knew y’all would understand. You’re my people.
Dill Pickle Dip is a family favorite!
I know the two words “pickle” and “dip” don’t necessarily sound like they belong together, but the thing is that this is my most favorite dip of all time. It literally takes about 2 minutes to whip up, it’s utterly fabulous at room temperature (no chilling, no baking, no worrying about the temperature), and did I mention that it’s just plain amazing?
So, go ahead and pretend that you have a house full of people, make some dip, and then pretend like you aren’t the one eating it all yourself. Imagination is good for the soul.

This sounds awesome! You should try using dill pickle relish which is basically pickles already chopped in small peices. It save even more time and would get the dip made faster so that its less time that you have to wait to enjoy this yummy stuff!

Oh my goodness I love this dip! So easy and creative.

OMG! Where has this been all my life?!?!?! I came across this recipe and took pause. Pickle dip and chips? Hmmmm, why the heck not. We whipped up a batch for a party and have serious reservation about this lasting until our party tomorrow. This is absolutely the most amazing dip we have ever scooped onto a potato chip. I should mention that I did alter this recipe and added a dash of white truffle salt, white pepper and dill. Amazing!!!! Thanks for sharing!

For a lady who can’t tolerate cream cheese (me – I know, it is sad. I can’t eat cheesecake or anything without getting a major tummyache.), what would you recommend as a substitute for the cream cheese? I’m not much better with yogurt – and sour cream is only a small doses acceptable food. Could I use something like laughing cow spreadable swiss? Just curious what you might recommend! Thanks in advance.

I think this would be good with the spicy pickles. Also, what about using sour cream instead of cream cheese?
Lauren says
Could you use dill pickle relish instead of hand chopping them up?
Karly says
Hi Lauren!
I’ve never tried that, but I imagine it would work fine. The relish juice seems a bit thicker than the regular pickle juice, so maybe a splash of vinegar would thin things out a bit.
Hope that helps!
Marla says
Did you use just plain old sliced dill pickles~the kind you put on burgers or did you use whole ones chopped up? Probably makes no difference~just want to make sure I get it right! Thanks!
Karly says
I used the pickle chips that you’d use on a burger, but I think any type would work fine!

This is what I wrote when I pinned it:
Dill pickle dip recipe. Oh the possibilities! As a spread for burgers or sandwiches. Spread it on Salmon. Put it on toasted bread coins and top with salmon and a sprinkle of dill. Dill pickle mashed potatoes. Mix it with pasta and add chicken or salmon. Add minced garlic to it and maybe green onion. Oh I am way to excited about this dip…

Pickle Dip….uh, yeah! And what if…just WHAT IF I dipped my Fried Pickles in the Pickle Dip?! I suppose I could eat it w-h-i-l-e on the treadmill, right Ü
Meghan @ The Tasty Fork says
YUM!! I just got a jar of specialty spicy pickles. I see this dip in the future!!
Danielle says
Is the above an actual picture of your dip? Mine did not look so white after I added the Worcestershire…
Karly says
@Danielle,
Yep, that’s a picture of the same dip. Keep in mind that all monitors are different, so the real life colors aren’t going to match up to the computer always. My dip is pretty white, but it’s not pure white. Color shouldn’t affect the taste either way, though. 🙂

I did make this for the Super Bowl, and it has been a struggle to not eat it all before the party! I don’t know if it was the band of pickle or what, but I had to add about 2 tsp. dried dill and 1/4 tsp salt before it tasted really good to me. Nice idea!
Kathleen says
I do something simular to this and everyone asks for it durning get togethers. I don’t mind making it but its such a pain to put together and they don’t look very appitizing. I take deli ham cream cheese and whole dill pickles. I dry the pickles and smother them with the cream cheese then try wrapping the ham around them. Let them get cold and then slicing them. I’ve been wanting to make them as a dip and I just may try this but add chopped ham. Like I said they don’t look appatizing, but they taste delish. By the way i love your site and your recipes.
Karly says
@Kathleen,
I bet this would be great with the meat chopped up in it! 🙂
Sam says
Your stunning pictures really make this recipe look delicious, so I had to try it! WOW! My entire household is in love with this dip, I’m going to have to make this every week! Thanks for sharing!

How long will this dip last in the fridge?
