Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 (8 oz.) packages cream cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup pickle juice
  • 3 cups chopped dill pickles (a 32 oz. jar of whole baby dill pickles is perfect)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup diced red onion

For Serving

  • Pretzel chips, crackers, melba toast, or other dippers of choice

Instructions

  1. Combine Cream Cheese and Pickle Juice: In a large bowl, add the softened cream cheese and pickle juice. Use an electric mixer on low speed to blend them until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  2. Add Pickles, Cheese, and Onion: Stir in the chopped dill pickles, shredded cheddar cheese, and diced red onion until evenly incorporated into the cream cheese mixture.
  3. Refrigerate the Dip: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate the dip for a minimum of 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. You can also store it for up to 3 days for convenient make-ahead serving.
  4. Serve: Before serving, stir the dip well. Plate it with your choice of dippers such as pretzel chips, crackers, or melba toast and enjoy this creamy, tangy appetizer.
