Fried Pickle Dip Recipe
Our quick and easy Fried Pickle Dip recipe is a refreshing appetizer that can be served with chips or fresh veggies!
Ingredients
- 1/2 tablespoon butter regular or plant-based
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 8 oz plain cream cheese room temperature
- 1/2 cup sour cream
- 1/4 cup white onion minced
- 2 tablespoons dill pickle juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
- 3 teaspoons garlic minced
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt more to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 1/3 cup refrigerated dill pickle spears seeds removed and chopped
Serving Suggestion:
- Ruffles potato chips
- fresh vegetables
Instructions
- Brown Breadcrumbs: Bring a small skillet to a medium-high heat and let melt. Add the breadcrumbs and move around the hot pan until browned. Set aside and let cool.
- Combine: Put the softened cream cheese, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/4 cup minced onion, 2 tablespoons pickle juice, 1 tablespoon fresh dill, 3 teaspoons garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon lemon zest in a large bowl. Use an electric hand mixer to fully combine everything together.
- Add Pickles: Gently fold the chopped pickles (be sure to remove the seeds, to prevent it from getting watery) into the cream cheese mixture.
- Add Topping: Place this mixture in a serving bowl and sprinkle the browned breadcrumbs on top.
- Serve: Enjoy this dip with some Ruffles potato chips and/or fresh veggies!
Notes
- Dairy-Free: simply use a plant-based butter, dairy-free cream cheese alternative, and a dairy-free sour cream.
- Gluten-Free: sub the breadcrumbs for gluten-free breadcrumbs or omit the topping.
- Pickles: we highly recommend using Claussen refrigerated pickles or our homemade Refrigerated Dill Pickles!
- Variations: option to add in some chopped bacon or red pepper flakes if you like a little kick of spice.
