Ingredients
1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, softened
2/3 cup dill pickles, finely diced
1 1/2 tablespoons pickle juice (from the jar)
1 tablespoon fresh dill, finely chopped
Salt, to taste
Red pepper flakes, to taste (optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, place the softened cream cheese.
Add the finely diced dill pickles, pickle juice, and chopped fresh dill.
Using a spatula, mix and fold the ingredients until they are fully combined and uniform.
Taste and season with salt if needed. For a spicy kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes.
For immediate use, serve with your favorite dippers. For a firmer consistency and the best flavor, cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
Soften the Cream Cheese: For a smooth, lump-free dip, make sure your cream cheese is fully softened to room temperature before mixing.
Use Crunchy Pickles: Finely dicing crunchy dill pickles (like from the refrigerated section) provides the best texture.
Chill for Flavor: Letting the dip chill for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld together for a more delicious result. The dip tastes even better the next day!
