Southern 4-Ingredient Dill Pickle Dip

A cool, creamy appetizer made with just four ingredients: cream cheese, sour cream, chopped dill pickles, and pickle juice. No cooking required; simply mix, chill, and serve.

Equipment

• medium mixing bowl
• refrigerator

Ingredients

• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sour cream
• 1 cup dill pickles, finely chopped and well drained
• 2 tablespoons pickle juice

Instructions

1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and sour cream. Stir until the mixture is smooth, creamy, and free of large lumps.
2. Finely chop the dill pickles and drain them well. Fold the chopped pickles into the cream cheese mixture, then add the pickle juice. Stir until everything is evenly combined and the pickle pieces are distributed throughout the dip.
3. Cover the bowl and place it in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
4. Remove the dip from the refrigerator and give it a good stir before serving. Transfer it to a serving bowl and enjoy it cold with potato chips, crackers, pretzels, or fresh vegetables.

Notes

Finely chopping and draining the pickles helps create a creamy dip without making it too watery. You can customize with fresh dill, garlic powder, green onions, shredded cheddar, or jalapeños. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3–4 days.
