We’ve got pickled flavored foods that you’d never expect, we have the biggest variety of pickles in the stores that I’ve ever seen, and there are people on TikTok that just sit and eat pickles while you watch. <— I try to avoid those, because it honestly just makes me crave pickles.

I’m a total pickle girl, and dill pickles are where it’s at! Especially when they’re chopped up and mixed with cream cheese to make the most amazing chip dip!

This dill pickle dip is seriously life changing – it’s SO EASY, made with just four ingredients, and you can have it on your table in minutes! Obsessed.

Other favorite dips of mine include Rotel dip, BLT dip, and keto spinach dip.

We love this dill pickle dip with a sturdy chip like Ruffles. The dip is fairly thick, so you’ll want a chip that can stand up to it.

Ritz crackers and pretzel thins are also good options.

Keep things low carb by dipping fresh veggies or pork rinds in your pickle dip!

Leftover dip? Spread the dip on a flour tortilla, add a couple slices of deli ham, and roll it up for a quick lunch or snack!

FAQs:

How long can dip be stored?

Store tightly covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.

How to soften cream cheese?

There are a few ways to do this. You can of course leave it on the counter (covered) until it reaches room temperature. The microwave will also work but it can be tricky and it may not soften evenly.

Another option is to use warm water. You can leave the cream cheese sealed in the foil it comes in (but not the box) and place that into a bowl of warm water, flipping it every few minutes until it softens.

You can also try cutting the cream cheese into small pieces, placing it into a mixing bowl, and then wrapping a dish towel dampened in hot water around the bottom of the bowl.

What type of pickle to use?

We much prefer dill pickles in this dip, but any variety you like should work well. We buy whole pickles and chop them up, but any shape of pickle is fine.
