Dip Ingredients
- 1 cup Grillo’s Pickles, chopped
- 1 cup Sour Cream
- 4 oz Cream Cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Fresh Dill, chopped
- ½ teaspoon Garlic Powder
- ½ teaspoon Onion Powder
- ¼ teaspoon Salt
- ¼ teaspoon Cracked Black Pepper
- 2 tablespoons Toasted Breadcrumbs (optional)
Instructions
- Soften Cream Cheese: Allow your cream cheese to sit out at room temperature until it becomes softened to ensure easy mixing and a smooth texture.
- Mix Creamy Base: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with sour cream and stir until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating the perfect base for the dip.
- Fold in Flavors: Gently fold the chopped Grillo’s pickles and fresh dill into the creamy mixture, along with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and cracked black pepper, to evenly distribute all the delicious flavors.
- Chill the Dip: Transfer your dip mixture to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld and the dip firm up for optimal serving texture.
- Optional Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle toasted breadcrumbs on top for added texture and a slight crunch, if desired.
Notes
- For best flavor, use freshly chopped Grillo’s pickles rather than pickled relish.
- Softening the cream cheese is crucial for a smooth and lump-free dip.
- Chilling the dip enhances the flavor combination and improves consistency.
- To make this dip dairy-free, substitute sour cream and cream cheese with vegan alternatives.
- The toasted breadcrumbs add nice texture but can be omitted for a gluten-free version.
