Easy fried pickle dip is a creamy, tangy, and crunchy appetizer that delivers all the flavor of fried pickles without the deep fryer. Perfect with chips, pretzels, or veggies for parties or game days.

Ingredients

  • 8 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
  • 3/4 cup dill pickles, finely chopped
  • 1–2 tbsp pickle juice (to taste)
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dried dill or 1 tbsp fresh dill
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/3 cup crushed kettle chips or toasted panko (for topping)
  • Optional: 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • Optional: 1 tbsp chopped green onions or a few dashes of hot sauce

Instructions

  1. In a mixing bowl, beat softened cream cheese until smooth.
  2. Add sour cream or Greek yogurt, chopped pickles, pickle juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dill, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. Stir in optional shredded cheddar or hot sauce if using.
  4. Cover and chill for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Toast panko with a little butter for extra crunch and flavor.

  • Substitute Greek yogurt and reduced-fat cream cheese for a lighter version.
  • Make dairy-free with plant-based cream cheese and yogurt.
  • Prepare dip ahead and add toppings right before serving to keep them crispy.
