If you love pickles, this creamy Dill Pickle Dip will have your mouth watering for more! Not only is it a great party app, but it’s a good snack during the warmer months that’s cool and refreshing!
There are some foods that people love and there are some that people REALLY love. I have found that pickles are one of those foods. You know the dill pickle lovers who like to drink the pickle juice, or were the first to try the dill pickle potato chips? I like pickles, but I don’t go this far!
Nonetheless, one of my favorite things about this dip is that you can eat it cold. My other favorite dip recipes like Buffalo Chicken Dip or Spinach Artichoke Dip, I prefer those warm. So this is a great option for summer parties or an appetizer idea that doesn’t require heat or much prep time.

INGREDIENTS FOR THIS DILL PICKLE DIP RECIPE
- sour cream – adds a whole other level of creaminess and flavor. You can also swap for Greek yogurt if you please
- cream cheese – make sure you take the time to softened the cream cheese. The softer it is, the easier the dip comes together and the texture is better.
- Ranch seasoning – you can also use the ranch seasoning packets
- deli-sliced ham – I like using honey ham. I feel like the sweetness balances out the other tangy flavors
- green onions – only use the green part! If you don’t have these you can slice up some red onion, just be sure it is finely chopped and you don’t use a ton or it will overpower the dip.
- jar of dill pickles – chips or spears, you choose! You could also use a dill pickle relish if you want to skip the chopping time.
INSTRUCTIONS TO MAKE DIP WITH DILL PICKLES

TIPS AND VARIATIONS FOR MAKING DILL PICKLE DIP WITH HAM
Different pickles – you could try the bread and butter pickles or the hot variety
More Flavor – Use garlic powder, onion powder or diced onions for a flavor booster. If you like spice, dice some jalapenos or add a dash of cayenne pepper. You could also add some fresh dill in. If you use the ranch packets, know that there is dill weed in there as well, and if you use too much it can quickly change the overall flavor.
Too Thick – if the creamy dip is too thick for your liking, you can thin it out with a little pickle juice.
