Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup pickle juice
  • 3 cups chopped dill pickles (a 32 oz. jar of whole baby dill pickles is perfect)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion

For Serving

  • Pretzel chips, crackers, melba toast, or other dippers

Instructions

  1. Mix cream cheese and pickle juice: In a large bowl, add the softened cream cheese and pour in the pickle juice. Use an electric mixer set to low speed to blend the two ingredients thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
  2. Add remaining ingredients: Fold in the chopped dill pickles, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced red onion. Stir gently but thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the dip.
  3. Chill the dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the dip for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together; it can be stored for up to 3 days.
  4. Serve: Before serving, give the dip a good stir. Serve chilled with your choice of dippers such as pretzel chips, crackers, or melba toast.

Notes

  • For best results, ensure the cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy mixing.
  • You can adjust the amount of pickle juice depending on your desired level of tanginess.
  • The dip can be made a day in advance to enhance the flavors even more.
  • Store the dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
