Featuring crunchy diced pickles and fresh herbs, this dill pickle dip is perfect with salty potato chips, and veggies, or even as a sandwich and burger spread.
My husband is a dill pickle fanatic. Where he grew up in Canada, dill pickle flavored chips and dips were widely available. Not so much here in Colorado. Which is why I created this Dill Pickle Dip.
I think it’s one of the things he misses most about home.
I made it for work one day and now I am on my millionth time making it. I substituted the sour cream for Greek yogurt and added lots of fresh dill. There have also been requests for me to make it, jar it and sell it. ~ Jennifer
I haven’t ventured into the arena of making dill pickle chips, but I figured a tasty dill pickle dip would be pretty easy to whip up. And as is usually the case, it’s so much better than any store-bought version.
This had definitely become my family’s favorite dip, which is fine by me, because it’s so easy to make, and I almost always have the ingredients on hand.
This tasty appetizer is always a hit at barbecues and back yard parties. It’s all great for game day, or any day, for that matter. Plan on getting rave reviews, because everyone loves it!
I like to make this dip a day ahead if I can, because the flavors are so much better when the ingredients have had a chance to mingle for a while.
But sometimes, it’s just too hard to wait that long! The best part is, you can add as many pickles as you’d like! When my husband is in charge, we add a LOT of pickles!
This dip is AMAZING, AWESOME, DELICIOUS!!!!! I will definitely not be sharing this with anybody! Thank you! ~ Alyssa
We like this best served with Ruffles, but it would also be good with fresh veggies. It’s also a great spread for sandwiches and burgers. Or, you know, straight from the spoon.
Just be warned, once you share this dip with friends and family, they’ll be requesting that you bring it to every party and get-together.
My dill pickle loving husband gives this Dill Pickle Dip two thumbs up, and the rest of the family loves it too!

I’ve made this recipe several times now. My family loves it and everybody have served it too. I add a couple tablespoons of pickle juice to thin it down a bit and I’ve also added minced up fresh jalapeño to give it some kick. It’s amazing with or without the jalapeño

Danelle, I am from Australia and I used to buy what we call Gherkin Dip which was made by Kraft but now I live in Thailand and many of the things that I used to buy in Australia I can no longer get here. I can get all the ingredients for this dip here but I would be looking at make a few jars at a time and storing them in the refrigerator. What I would like to know is how long would you think they would last stored in the refrigerator?

I really don’t think it would keep more than 4-5 days in the refrigerator. The juices from the pickles would eventually make it kind of runny. But I do think you could keep most of the ingredients on hand quite a while (except the fresh herbs–maybe a week for those, or you could use dried), and then just mix up a batch as needed.
