Our Dill Pickle Dip is a total favorite for pickle lovers! This creamy dip takes just 4 ingredients to make and it’s ready to eat in minutes. We love this with crispy chips or crackers, but it’s good with fresh veggies too. The perfect dip for parties, football games, and game night!
If you’re a pickle lover, you’re going to want to drop everything for this dip recipe!
Pickle Lovers Unite!
I married my husband mostly because he’s not really a pickle guy, which means that I get the pickle spear they put on his plate every time he orders a sandwich.
We’ve been married for 20+ years and I’m not saying the pickle thing is THE key to success, but I’m saying it helps.
While he doesn’t usually just eat a whole pickle, he does enjoy pickle flavored things, like my dill pickle chicken salad or our dill pickle potato salad.
And this dill pickle dip? It’s one of those recipes that has achieved rockstar status in my house. Every time we have friends or family over for a game night or to watch football or to celebrate a birthday, I always hear, “Did you make that pickle dip?”
With just 4 ingredients and about 2 minutes of stirring, this is a dip that you can easily make ahead or at the last second. I like it best with Ruffles (those greasy ridges have my heart), but it’s great with crackers or fresh veggies too!
Ingredients & Swaps:
Pickles – While you can use any brand of pickles you like, my personal favorite is Claussen for that zippy flavor and crunchy. A close second is Grillo’s.
Cream Cheese – We use a block of cream cheese and think that’s the best bet. However, if you want a lower fat option, give this a try.
Worcestershire Sauce – Adds a savory depth to the dip. Not totally necessary, but we like the oomph it adds.
Dill – The perfect way to top off this pickle dip is with some fresh or dried dill. I always have this freeze dried dill on hand for stuff like this.
How to Make Pickle Dip:
Add your cream cheese, chopped peppers, a splash of pickle juice, and some Worcestershire sauce to a small dish.
Use a spoon to stir everything together until it’s nice and combined.
Sprinkle fresh dill (and a few extra pickles, if you like) on top and then serve it with your favorite dippers. We recommend potato chips, but crackers and fresh veggies are great too!
Leftover Hack!
Spread your leftover dill pickle dip onto a flour tortilla, layer on a couple slices of deli ham, and then roll it up. Slice into pinwheels for a quick lunch or serve it at your next party!

I’m putting my shoes on right now and going out for cream cheese so that I too can make this and quite possibly finish it off all by myself…
Karly says
@DJ,
It’s Monday. You deserve a half pound of cream cheese and some pickles.

This is my new favorite dip, I’m so glad I stumbled upon this little gem. My inner-weirdo added shredded cheddar to this and I can not stop eating this!!
Tara says
I just came across your blog for the first time this morning and wanted to say how much I love it! Everything you post is so right up my alley! This pickle dip looks outstanding…as does your fluffernutter banana bread and peanut butter ball…and that’s just the first page! Great job!
Karly says
@Tara,
Thank you! 🙂

What Katies baking says
Wwwhhattttt?! You are so creative! You think it’s too much to serve these with pickle chips? Loll
brandi says
is it bad that i want to make this just because it’s called pickle dip? 🙂
JoAnn says
Correction – chopped green olives AND chopped walnuts…
JoAnn says
This sounds devine!!!!!!! A friend of mine makes one similar, only using chopped green olives. I’ll let you alone to go eat your dip now 🙂
Karly says
JoAnn, I looooove me some green olives. That dip sounds pretty amazing.
Shanna says
@Karly, Oh my, the pickles would be less fattening than the olives though! lol
Amy @ The Savvy Kitchen says
I am obsessed with pickles! This dip sounds perfect! Thanks 🙂
Jessica says
Why oh WHY did you introduce this to me?! I am pretty sure I could plow through an entire block of cream cheese in no time. Yum!
Johna says
OK, and I’ll pretend that I haven’t been eating a bowl of this each night for the last three nights. oops!
Although, I don’t use worcestershire sauce, and I add pickle juice to the cream cheese to make it thinner (got the recipe from a co-worker). then we refrigerate it for a bit and it thickens up. I love it with salt and vinegar chips. YUM!
Deborah says
I’m pretty sure this dip was created just for me. I need this right now!!
elizabeth @ kitchen counsel says
