Ingredients

Scale

Dairy & Dairy Alternatives

  • 1 1/2 cups Greek Yogurt (unflavored)
  • 8 ounces Cream Cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup Sour Cream
  • 4 ounces Sharp Cheddar Cheese (grated)

Vegetables & Herbs

  • 2 cups Refrigerated Dill Pickles (chopped)
  • 2 Tablespoons Fresh Dill (diced)

Spices & Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes
  • 1 packet Dry Ranch Dressing Mix (approximately 3 Tablespoons)
  • 1 to 2 Tablespoons Hot Sauce (Yellowbird hot sauce recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • Pepper (optional)


Instructions

  1. Combine Dairy Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, blend the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and Greek yogurt together until smooth and fully combined, creating the creamy base for the dip.
  2. Fold in Main Flavors: Gently fold in 1 2/3 cups of the chopped dill pickles (reserve 1/3 cup for garnish), fresh diced dill, grated sharp cheddar cheese, dry ranch dressing mix, hot sauce, red pepper flakes, onion powder, and optional pepper. Mix until evenly incorporated.
  3. Adjust Seasonings: Taste the dip and adjust seasoning to your preference. Add salt, additional pepper, or more hot sauce to increase heat if desired.
  4. Chill the Dip: Cover and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 to 60 minutes. Chilling helps the flavors meld and develop a richer, more cohesive taste.
  5. Garnish and Serve: Before serving, sprinkle the reserved 1/3 cup chopped dill pickles, extra fresh dill, and additional shredded cheddar cheese on top for an appealing presentation. Serve with kettle potato chips, crackers, or pieces of French bread.

Notes

  • For best flavor, allow the dip to chill for at least an hour.
  • Adjust the amount of hot sauce to suit your preferred spice level.
  • Use freshly chopped dill pickles for optimum texture and tang.
  • This dip pairs well with a variety of dippers including chips, veggies, or slices of toasted bread.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
