Dips

My favorite is spinach-artichoke dip but I was in the mood for something different. I made this yesterday and it is very yummy but a bit of a salt bomb:

Dill Pickle Dip

Ingredients

1 (8 oz) package cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup diced red onion
1/4 cup pickle juice
2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
1 teaspoon coarse ground pepper
2 cups diced pickles

Directions

In a large bowl add cream cheese, red onion, pickle juice, garlic, Old Bay seasoning and pepper. Combine with a hand mixer. Add pickles and continue mixing until fully combined. Refrigerate at least 3 hours and up to three days before serving.

We tried the dip with pretzels but found crackers moderated the salty taste better. I am munching some on Smoked Gouda Triscuits. Yum!

What kind of pickles?

What kind of pickles?

Since it is DILL pickle dip, it should be obvious. I used dill gherkins but I imagine any dill pickle would do. :shrug:

I'm tired, I've had a very busy weekend and am glad to be home.

My mother used to make a SWEET pickle relish dip when I was a kid. She used cream cheese, softened. Back in the day, we didn't have a microwave, and she would just leave it out a while, and added milk to it, to thin it out. Use a whip or fork and stir it until really smooth. Later, she used sour cream, which is what I use. Either is good, but cream cheese is thicker, and sour cream works better if you're using potato chip without ridges.

2 ingredients. Add as much sweet pickle relish to the sour cream until the taste is to your liking. Sweeten it up a little more by adding the juice.

To this day, this is still my go-to "comfort food" dip.

My all time favorite dip is warm hummus with cut veggies. Whatever flavor you like from the grocery store, warm it up, and now you've taken it to a whole different level - creamy and decadent. Plus it's heart healthy and low fat/cal.

Avocado added to a can of garbanzo beans some lemon juice and sour cream and buzzed until smooth is very good too.

Cheese and only Cheese .....


actually I miss the dip that used to be made with the Lipton soup Mix

Between the pickles, pickle juice, and Old Bay, it will definitely leave your mouth puckered.

When (not if) I make it again, I will use half sour cream to cut the thickness and cut the pickle juice with vinegar to reduce the salt.

Mine too. Just love the stuff. I used to make my own and the flavor combos are endless.Warming it releases so much more of the flavors.

I love artichoke dip....and hummus....and a dip made out of cream of shrimp soup and cream cheese, lemon juice and minced onion. Guilty pleasures all. Queso dip...mmmmmm...hot crab dip and the buffalo chicken/cream cheese thing that everyone does...I could make a lactose laden meal out of nothing but dips and dippers and be happy for weeks. But recently at a party someone brought Nieman Marcus Dip:


4 Cups Shredded Cheese – Cheddar or Mix Blend
1 Cup Chopped Green Onions
1 Cup Slivered Almonds
1 pkg of Real Bacon Pieces
2 Cups Mayonnaise

Mix it all up and refrigerate for a couple of hours just to let the flavors meld. I'm sold.
