Turn your favorite fried pickles recipe into an amazing Fried Pickle Dip that takes minutes to whip up! This dip is loaded with cream cheese, sour cream, ranch seasoning and it is absolute perfection! Serve with potato chips!
MIX: Start by whipping the cream cheese using a hand mixer or stand mixer for 30 seconds. Once light and airy, add the greek yogurt, Worcestershire, ranch seasoning, and ¼ teaspoon garlic powder with a spatula or with a hand mixer set to low speed. Once smooth, stir in the dill and chopped chives, 1 tbsp pickle juice, and dill pickles. Taste and if the dip is still thick, stir in another tablespoon of dill pickle juice.
REST: Allow the dip to rest for a minimum of 1 hour, covered in the refrigerator before serving so that the flavors have a chance to blend. Making it 24 hours in advance is even better, so this is perfect to make ahead!
TOPPING: Melt the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the panko and toss to coat evenly in the butter. Stir the panko frequently until golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Season with the remaining ¼ teaspoon of garlic powder and a pinch of salt. Allow the breadcrumbs to cool completely before topping the tip.
SERVE: Remove the dip at least 30 m invites before serving. Once the breadcrumbs are cool, top the dip with the crumbs and serve warm with butter crackers, potato chips or pita chips and ENJOY!
Notes
Worchestersire sauce: vegetarian friends, you'll need to swap this with a vegearian-friendly version or you can skip this ingredient if you prefer!
Pickle juice: I find when I make this with Greek yogurt, I need 1 tbsp of pickle juice, but with sour cream, it's closer to 2 tbsps.
