Creamy and cravable, this is for the pickle lovers! Dill Pickle Dip is super simple ot make with a quick creamy base and LOTS of dill pickle flavor. Take chips, crackers, and veggies to a whole new level.
Holly’s Recipe Highlights
- Flavor: Rich and creamy with tons of fresh, bold dill pickle flavor.
- Skill level: Just chop, mix, and chill—couldn’t be easier.
- Time-saving tip: If you have my fave chopper, use the smaller chopping plate for perfect pickles. If you don’t have this chopper, it will save you SO much time on meal prep—I highly recommend it!
- Prep note: Make this dip up to 2 days ahead so it’s extra cold and the flavors have more time to develop.
- Serving suggestions: Dill pickle dip is a veggie lover’s go-to with fresh cucumbers, carrots, and celery.
Ingredient Tips For Dill Pickle Dip
- Cream Cheese: Use a block of cream cheese for the best results. Spreadable cream cheese will work, but the dip may not be as thick.
- Pickles: Dill pickles add flavor and crunch. Use your favorite brand or flavor of dill pickles, or even use homemade pickles.
- Seasonings: Pickle juice softens the dip a little and adds a punch of tangy flavor. Use 1 ½ teaspoons of dried dill if fresh isn’t available.
Variations & Quick Tips
- Add garlic powder, cheddar cheese, or a sprinkle of bacon on top.
- Dill pickle dip is an amazing spread on salmon burgers or sandwiches
- Serve it as a dip for potato chips, pita chips, fresh veggies, or zucchini rounds.

4 Ingredient Dill Pickle Dip
Dill pickle dip is loaded with fresh dill and chunks of pickles in every bite. It's perfect with veggies, chips, or crackers.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese softened
- ¼ cup dill pickle juice
- ¼ cup chopped dill pickles
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
Instructions
- In a medium bowl with a hand mixer, mix cream cheese until smooth.
- Gradually add pickle juice to the cream cheese, mixing well after each addition.
- Stir in chopped pickles and fresh dill.
- Refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Consistency: Adjust the pickle juice to reach the desired consistency. The dip will thicken slightly as it chills in the fridge.
- Pickle Juice: When scooping pickle juice from the container, try to add any of the spices and garlicky bits in the juice, they’re a great addition to the dip.
- Dill: Fresh dill adds great flavor but you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried dill weed.

Chip-wreckers? Love it! And there goes the diet. Again Should have known I’d have to make this again…I just got home from grocery shopping…with 2 bags of chips.
Love this easy dip! I’ve made many, many times!!
this dip is so delicious I could eat it with a spoon– and probably have :) i use cream cheese and sour cream, dill relish and dried dill with a little salt and pepper.
I can not confirm or deny that I have also just used a spoon
This dip is delicious!!! The pickle juice and the pickles add so much flavor and zest to this dip, without making the consistency too liquidy. It was so easy to make and came together in a matter of minutes. I served this dip as part of a veggie tray and our guests loved it! Thanks Holly for another fantastic recipe.
So happy you enjoyed it. This is one of my favorites too!
I usually start dip/spred recipes with cream cheese by at least getting the cream cheese to room temperature; but usually just toss into the microwave for 10-20 sec (definitely depends on your microwave) so mixing other “stuff” in is a bit easier! I used this as a stuffing for celery which was a huge success! Take care & enjoy!
Thank you for the tip Menkens! I love the idea of stuffing it in celery!
This is AMAZINGLY DELICIOUS!! I love dill and dill pickles anyway. MMMM! Making another batch tonight.
