Ranch dill pickle dip is a savory dip made from sour cream, pickle juice, ranch seasoning, chopped pickles, and mixed herbs and seasonings. It has a creamy texture and a zesty, tangy taste.
Dill pickles are the most classic choice, but you can use half-sours for a more garlicky flavor, sweet or bread-and-butter pickles for a sweeter flavor, or hot and spicy pickles for a spicy dip!
Ranch dill pickle dip is super versatile. You can serve it with fresh vegetables, chips, pretzels, or crackers; as part of a cheese plate; or you can spread it on sandwiches or bagels!
