Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup chopped pickles
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1 1.5-ounce packet ranch seasoning
- 1/4 cup pickle juice
Optional Toppings
- Dill (optional)
Instructions
- Toast the Panko: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add panko breadcrumbs and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes. This adds a crunchy texture to your dip.
- Combine Dip Ingredients: Reserve some toasted panko and chopped pickles for topping. In a bowl, combine the remaining toasted panko, chopped pickles, sour cream, ranch seasoning, and pickle juice. Stir well to fully blend all the flavors.
- Add Toppings for Serving Immediately: If serving right away, transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle the reserved chopped pickles, toasted panko, and fresh dill on top for garnish and extra flavor.
- Make-Ahead Storage: For serving later, place the prepared dip (without toppings) in an airtight container and refrigerate. When ready to serve, transfer to a bowl and add the reserved chopped pickles, toasted panko, and dill just before serving.
Notes
- Use fresh dill for a burst of herbal flavor; omit or substitute if unavailable.
- Adjust the amount of pickle juice to your taste preference for tanginess.
- For a spicier kick, consider adding a dash of hot sauce or cayenne pepper.
- Keep the toasted panko separate until serving to maintain its crunchiness.
- Serve with crackers, chips, or fresh vegetables for dipping.
