How to Keep Dill Pickle Dip Thick
Drain the chopped pickles well before folding them in. Measure the pickle juice separately so you get the tang without adding excess liquid. For a smooth base, stir the softened cream cheese until creamy, then work in the sour cream before adding the pickles and brine.
What to Serve with Dill Pickle Dip
Give the chilled dip a quick stir before serving. Ridged potato chips and sturdy crackers hold up to a generous scoop. Carrot sticks, celery, and sliced bell peppers add extra crunch.
