Serve chilled pickle ranch dip at your next party. It's a perfect chip dip appetizer with its creamy base, savory ranch flavoring, and tangy dill pickles. Topped with pre-made crispy fried onions, the texture combination is outta this world!
Whip softened cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth, then incorporate the sour cream, dried ranch seasoning, garlic, and 1 tablespoon of pickle brine.
Fold in chopped dill and pickles. Taste test and add an additional tablespoon of pickle brine if needed.
¼ cup fresh Dill, 6 kosher dill pickle spears
Spread the dip in a serving dish or bowl and top generously with fried onions immediately before serving. If making it ahead of time, store the dip in an airtight container in the fridge; do not top with crispy onions until ready to enjoy. Serve with potato chips or veggies as desired.
Crispy Fried Onions
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. I recommend removing any fried onions before storage, or they'll become soggy.
