Ingredients and Variations
Pickles: I love using dill pickles in this recipe. Try your favorite variety, including spicy or extra garlic pickles!
Creamy Base: Cream cheese and sour cream create the perfect base for dips. Feel free to use light cream cheese or swap out the sour cream for plain Greek yogurt for a tangier taste.
Seasonings: Many versions of this recipe (including the one sold at Costco) are ranch-flavored. In this version, I added the same seasonings that are in my ranch seasoning mix for all of the flavor without being too salty.
Breadcrumb Topping: Parmesan cheese and Panko crumbs add the “fried” part of the fried pickles to this dip!
Variations
- Crumbled bacon or bacon bits add a smokey and savory flavor.
- Add some shredded cheddar for an extra dose of cheesiness.
