If You Love Dill Pickles, You Need to Make This Creamy Dip

Pickle fans, this is the dip you've been waiting for. It's rich and creamy thanks to Greek yogurt with just the right amount of dill pickle flavor courtesy of fresh dill and lemon zest. Scoop it up with potato chips, fresh veggies, or pretzels—or get creative and use it in place of mayo on your next turkey sandwich. Honestly, it's so good, you'll want to eat it right from the bowl.

How to Make a Great Dill Pickle Dip

Keep these Test Kitchen tips in mind when making our recipe for dill pickle dip.

• For the best flavor, we recommend using full-fat Greek yogurt. The richness of yogurt helps balance the acidity of the pickle brine.
  
• This is the place to use dill pickle brine. We don't recommend swapping in sweet gherkins or bread and butter pickles. The flavor just won't be the same.
• Before adding additional seasoning to the dip, give it a taste. Pickles are salty on their own, so you may need less salt than you think.
• If you like a bit of heat, try adding a few dashes of your favorite hot sauce.
• Don't rush the chill time! Letting the dip sit in the fridge for at least two hours (or overnight is even better) allows the flavors to meld. It gets better as it sits.
• Serve the finished dill pickle dip with your favorite dippers. We love potato chips, pretzels, and fresh vegetables like sugar snap peas, sliced bell peppers, carrots, and cucumbers.
