Dip Ingredients
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 cup dill pickles, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons dill pickle juice
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine the base: In a medium bowl, mix together the sour cream and mayonnaise until smooth and evenly combined. This forms the creamy foundation of the dip.
- Add pickles and seasoning: Stir in the finely chopped dill pickles, dill pickle juice, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder to infuse the dip with tangy, savory flavors.
- Incorporate fresh dill and season: Fold in the freshly chopped dill, then season with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences to balance the flavors.
- Chill the dip: Mix all ingredients thoroughly, cover the bowl, and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and intensify, creating a deliciously cohesive dip.
- Serve and enjoy: Remove from the refrigerator and serve chilled alongside chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for a tasty appetizer or snack.
Notes
- For a stronger pickle flavor, increase the amount of dill pickle juice slightly.
- This dip can be made a day ahead to deepen the flavors.
- Use low-fat sour cream and mayonnaise for a lighter version.
- Fresh dill can be substituted with dried dill, though fresh is recommended for best flavor.
- Adjust garlic powder and seasoning according to your taste preference.
