This Fried Pickle Dip is a creamy, tangy appetizer perfect for pickle lovers. It combines crunchy fried panko breadcrumbs, chopped pickles, and zesty ranch seasoning with sour cream and pickle juice for a flavorful dip that’s great for parties and snack time. Finished with optional dill for freshness, this dip offers a unique twist on classic pickle flavors with a crispy topping.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dip

  • 2 cups sour cream
  • 1 cup chopped pickles
  • 1.5-ounce packet ranch seasoning
  • 1/4 cup pickle juice

For the Topping

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Dill, optional for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Dip: In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream, chopped pickles, ranch seasoning, and pickle juice. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated to create a tangy and creamy base.
  2. Make the Fried Breadcrumb Topping: In a small skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs and cook, stirring frequently, until they are golden brown and crispy, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat.
  3. Assemble the Dip: Spoon the sour cream and pickle mixture into a serving dish. Evenly sprinkle the fried panko breadcrumbs over the top to add a crunchy texture contrast.
  4. Add Garnish: If desired, sprinkle fresh dill on top of the dip for an extra burst of herbal flavor and a nice visual touch.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately with your favorite crackers, chips, or fresh vegetables for dipping for a delicious appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • Make sure to toast the panko breadcrumbs until golden for maximum crunch and flavor.
  • Use dill pickles for the best authentic flavor; sweet pickles will change the taste profile.
  • The pickle juice adds tang and depth; do not skip it for the best flavor balance.
  • This dip is best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 days without the breadcrumb topping. Add breadcrumbs just before serving to keep them crispy.
