This is a recipe for Dill Pickle Dip. Made creamy with Cream Cheese and Sour Cream and the star of the show, chopped dill pickles. A delicious and easy appetizer recipe for any party or game-day event.
This is one of those recipes that I just had to try… just out of sheer curiosity.
I’d never heard of such a thing. Dill pickle dip? Odd but interesting. Quirky and tempting. Crunchy yet creamy. Tart and salty. I found this recipe over at CopyKat Recipes. Thanks so much Stephanie, this is a great dip. While taste testing to adjust flavors, I decided it needed more pickle, more pickle juice and a bit more onion. For no other reason other than I’m a pickle and onion freak-0.
I made this dip the morning we were heading over to Maralee and Greg’s for the big AFC Championship game that afternoon…let me pause here for a Go Broncos!…and it was delicious the same day. And just as the direction say, it’s better if it sits overnight.
I found a similar recipe over at the blog Smells Like Home, using Greek yogurt.
The Iowa Beef Council Industry thinks we ought to add dried beef to the recipe and serve it with vegetables. Sounds good to me.

Dill Pickle Dip
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 1/2 Cup sour cream
- 2 Tablespoons sweet onion chopped
- 1 teaspoon dried onion flakes
- 4 Tablespoons chopped dill pickles
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon or 2 pickle juice add if you like a little more tartness. optional
Instructions
- Allow cream cheese to warm to room temperature to soften. In a medium sized mixing bowl mix together cream cheese and sour cream. Stir until well blended. Add in chopped white onion, chopped dill pickles, and Worcestershire sauce, and mix until you have a uniform mixture. You may add in 1 to 2 teaspoons of pickle juice if desired, it will give the dip a little extra zip. Store in an airtight container for at least 1 hour before serving. This is better when made the night before. Garnish with dill if desired.

Pam says
I’ve never had this dip – it looks and sounds amazing!
Lea Ann says
It’s surprisingly good Pam.
Cathy at Wives with Knives says
Yum, I can almost taste this dip on a big salty potato chips! I’m not much of a football fan but I sure enjoy all the foods that go with watching a game.
Lea Ann says
I’m bad around potato chips. “Can’t eat just one” is a joke with me. How about “can’t eat just one bag”. 🙂
Jenn says
I’ve seen this on another blog and thought it sounded delicious… now that I’ve seen it twice, it must be a sign that I have to make it!!! 🙂
Lea Ann says
Same here, saw it twice and took it as an omen. Go Broncos!
Milk and Honey says
Yum. We’re crazy about anything that involves pickles and chips around here (except may be ice cream).
Lea Ann says
Well, now let’s not rule that out. Might be tasty. 🙂
TasteofBeirut says
this sparked my interest, since i had made a hummus with pickles a while back; sounds easy and delicious, especially with these chips! yum.
Lea Ann says
Always good to hear from you Joumana. And I”m liking that pickle/hummus idea.
Claire @ Simply Sweet Justice says
Wow, this sounds unlike any dip I have tried! It sounds good! One of my grandma’s tricks for good potato salad was to add in a little bit of pickle juice!
Lea Ann says
Same here Claire. I learned that early and have always poured a little in. Go Broncos.
Pamela @ Brooklyn Farm Girl says
As a lover of pickles, I love the idea of this dip!
Lea Ann says
I think that’s the reason I had to try it. I’m a pickle freak-o
Coffee and Crumpets says
Ooooh, I love pickles and onions, and this sounds really good! I might make this for the Super Bowl when I watch our Broncos win!! Go Broncos!
Lea Ann says
Go Broncos! 🙂
Linda says
I’d love it is you’d link this to our Super Bowl and Chile Party. It looks awesome.

Lea Ann says
Heading over there now. Thanks Linda.
Vickie says
Love how good this dip sounds. Even though I am not a huge football fan, I am always excited for an excuse to have an afternoon party full of food, friends and fun. Go Broncos!
Lea Ann says
Go Broncos! 🙂
dan says
Yum!
Lea Ann says
Yep!
Abbe@This is How I Cook says
That is so funny. I’ve had in the back of my head to make a pickle dip. Maybe I was receiving subliminal messages. You beat me to it and this looks great!
Lea Ann says
Thanks Abbe! Let me know if you make it and how you like it.
Happy Valley Chow says
I could eat dill pickles every day, heck I have drank the juice before haha. This dip sounds delicious! Be sure to stop by my link party, Om Nom Nom Friday (Even though it’s Sunday) and share some of your delicious creations!
Happy Blogging!

I’m with you. I’m a pickle fan. But have never drank the juice. Love it. Heading over to take a look at your Nom Nom Friday.
Karen Harris says
What’s not to love about these flavors?! I can’t wait to try it. Uh, oh yeah . . . Go Broncos!
Lea Ann says
Did you just say Go Broncos?? Is there hope for you after all? 🙂
adam @unorthodoxepicure says
Consider my interest to be equally piqued. This would be really good in a potato salad.
Lea Ann says
I think you’re right Adam.
Robyn says
OMG I’ve been wanting to try a dip like this for a while- I’ve had a version of this pinned – maybe for superbowl! Thanks for sharing Lea Ann!
Lea Ann says
I just recently saw this for the first time a couple of weeks ago Robyn … and then twice in one week, I knew I had to give it a try.
Sam @ My Carolina Kitchen says
This is a new one to me. It reminds me of French onion dip. Go Broncos.
Sam
Lea Ann says
With a tang! Go Broncos.
Debra says
You have peaked my interest as well. You have posted a great recipe AND a great roundup of variations. I bet this was much loved at the watch party. Ready for next Sunday!!!!????
Lea Ann says
Debra, I don’t think next Sunday will ever get here. It’s worse than waiting for Christmas to open presents.
Chilebrown says
When ever I read and look at your fantastic recipes I always ask the question; Would Elway like this? Would those big beaver incisors be able to handle this pickle delight? I know I would love this dip. Good luck next weekend. It will be a cold one.
Lea Ann says
You are too funny … in a menacing sort of way. 🙂
Karen (Back Road Journal) says
I just say a recipe for this last week…it does sound good. 🙂
Lea Ann says
I saw it twice, so I knew I had to give it a try.
