ingredients needed for dill pickle dip

The ingredients:

  • Dill Pickles. Use whatever brand you prefer and chop them as small as you would like. I like my pickles fairly chunky but my kids like them quite small. If you like them small you could try using a dill relish to make this recipe even faster.
  • Ranch Dressing Mix. Using ranch dressing mix is the fastest and easiest way to add all your spices at one time. I always keep a packet of mix on hand for all sorts of tasty uses!
  • Cream Cheese. You can try to sub sour cream or yogurt and it WILL work but you will get a different sort of dip altogether. Cream cheese is need for the creamy and tangy flavor.
  • Green Onions. Green onions provide a nice flavor and color to this dip. You can leave them out if you are looking for additional speed.
  • Chopped Ham. Ham is totally optional, the dip is good without it. BUT…adding ham gives this dip the same flavor as your favorite ham roll-up appetizers. SOO GOOD! This recipe is a great way to use up leftover ham!

To Make Dill Pickle Dip with Ham:

Prep: Chop your pickles, ham, and green onions into small pieces. In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the ranch dressing mix being sure to give yourself enough room for the chopped ham & veggies.

Combine: Stir together the chopped ham & veggies and the cream cheese mixture, stir well.

Chill: For the best flavor, chill this dip for a few hours to give the ingredients a chance to meld and mix together. You CAN eat it right away, if needed or you forgot to make it ahead of time. It will still be tasty.
