  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 8 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz block cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1 cup finely diced dill pickles (about 3-4 medium pickles), squeezed dry
  • 2 tablespoons pickle juice
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • Pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for a little kick)
  • 1 cup crispy fried onions, divided (such as French's)
  • Potato chips, pretzel crisps, or vegetable sticks, for serving

Instructions

  1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and mayonnaise. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed or whisk vigorously until smooth and creamy, ensuring no lumps remain.
  2. Add the finely diced, squeezed-dry dill pickles, pickle juice, chopped fresh dill, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and optional cayenne pepper to the cream cheese mixture. Stir well with a spatula until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Gently fold in about 3/4 cup of the crispy fried onions into the dip. This adds that delightful crunch and savory 'fried' flavor without any actual frying. Reserve the remaining 1/4 cup for garnish.
  4. Taste the dip and adjust seasonings as needed. If you prefer it tangier, add a bit more pickle juice. For more creaminess, a splash more sour cream or mayo can be added.
  5. Transfer the easy fried pickle dip to a serving bowl. Garnish with the remaining 1/4 cup of crispy fried onions and an extra sprig of fresh dill, if desired. Serve immediately with your favorite dippers like sturdy potato chips, pretzel crisps, or an assortment of fresh vegetable sticks.

Notes

For best flavor, let the dip chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For an extra kick, add a tablespoon of finely chopped jalapeño. If you don’t have crispy fried onions, crushed plain potato chips or even toasted breadcrumbs can provide a similar crunch.
