This creamy, tangy dip is all about the pickles. Using pickles and pickle juice ensures it bursts with tangy-salty dill pickle flavor. Serving with pickle potato chips takes it over the top.
Breadcrumbs, toasted in butter and pickle juice, add a crispy topping. The combination of mayonnaise and sour cream gives the dip a creamy texture that allows the pickle flavor to shine.
Chopped pickles and toasted breadcrumbs add a satisfying crunch to the creamy dip. Forget putting an egg on it—these days, it’s all about pickles. Pickles and their brine add a lip-smacking tartness, saltiness, and a tiny bit of sweetness to many foods.
This recipe combines sour cream and mayo, ranch dressing mix, fresh dill, and lots of chopped pickles. Topped with breadcrumbs toasted in butter and pickle juice, it’s a nod to fried pickles.
The dip uses easy-to-find ingredients and comes together in just 15 minutes with a brief chill in the fridge. It’s perfect for a last-minute party, happy hour, or even dinner.
Opt for sour cream and mayo for creaminess. Cream cheese was too thick and masked the pickles’ flavor, but the combination of sour cream and mayonnaise hits the right balance of tanginess and creaminess.
Using ranch dressing mix, not ranch dip mix, is key. Ranch dip mix proved too salty. Fresh dill brightens the dip and enhances the pickle flavor.
Breadcrumbs toasted in butter and pickle juice give this fried pickle dip its signature crunch. Add pickle juice in two steps for the crispiest panko. Stir some into the dip and heap the rest on top for crunchy bits in every bite.
Experiment with different varieties of pickles or add seasonings like mustard seeds, black pepper, and red pepper flakes to make the dip your own.
Use sturdy chips to serve. Sturdy chips, especially dill pickle–flavored ones, work best. This dip, dubbed ‘Chip Breaking Dip,’ will have you reaching for the sturdiest chips on the shelf.
Double the batch because it tends to disappear quickly. Leftover dip can be refrigerated for up to 5 days, though the breadcrumbs will soften. It’s still delicious.
This fried pickle dip is a must-try for pickle lovers and comes together in a flash!
