Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 Tablespoon Butter
- 3/4 Cup Panko Breadcrumbs
- 2 Cups Dill Pickles, chopped
- 2 Cups Sour Cream
- 1 Packet Ranch Seasoning
For Garnish (Optional)
- Fresh Dill, chopped
Instructions
- Toast the breadcrumbs: Heat a pan over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the panko breadcrumbs and toast, stirring frequently, until fragrant and golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside, reserving some breadcrumbs for topping.
- Prepare the dip mixture: Chop the dill pickles and place them in a mixing bowl. Add most of the toasted breadcrumbs (reserve some for garnish), sour cream, and ranch seasoning packet.
- Mix and adjust consistency: Stir all the ingredients together thoroughly until well combined. The mixture will be thick; if you prefer a thinner dip, gently mix in some water or pickle juice to achieve the desired consistency.
- Assemble the dip: Transfer the dip to a serving plate or bowl. Sprinkle the reserved toasted breadcrumbs over the top and garnish with fresh chopped dill if desired.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the dip with potato chips or your favorite dippers and enjoy this crunchy, creamy, and tangy treat that’s sure to be a crowd-pleaser.
Notes
- Using crunchy dill pickles enhances the texture contrast in the dip, making each bite more satisfying.
- Toasting the panko breadcrumbs adds a delightful crunch and nutty flavor that mimics a “fried” texture without deep frying.
- If you prefer a thinner dip, consider adding pickle juice for extra tanginess and moisture instead of water.
- This dip pairs perfectly with potato chips, crackers, or fresh veggie sticks.
- Fresh dill garnish is optional but adds a fresh herbal note that complements the other flavors well.
