A creamy and tangy Fried Pickle Dip combining the crunch of toasted panko breadcrumbs with the zesty flavor of pickles and ranch seasoning. Perfect as a party appetizer or snack, this dip is easy to prepare on the stovetop and customizable with fresh dill.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Dip

  • 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

For Topping (optional)

  • Reserved toasted panko breadcrumbs
  • Reserved chopped pickles
  • Dill, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Toast the Panko: Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs and toast them while stirring frequently until they turn golden brown, about 3–4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
  2. Prepare the Dip Mixture: Reserve some of the toasted panko and chopped pickles for garnish later. In a mixing bowl, combine the remaining toasted panko, chopped pickles, sour cream, ranch seasoning packet, and pickle juice. Stir thoroughly until all ingredients are well blended.
  3. Serve Immediately or Store: If serving right away, transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle the reserved toasted panko, chopped pickles, and optional dill on top for added texture and flavor.
  4. Storage Instructions: If you plan to serve the dip later, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator without the toppings. When ready to serve, stir the dip, transfer it to a serving bowl, and garnish with the reserved toasted panko, chopped pickles, and dill.

Notes

  • For best texture, toast the panko breadcrumbs carefully to avoid burning.
  • This dip is best served chilled or at room temperature.
  • You can adjust the amount of pickle juice for more tanginess according to taste.
  • Optional dill adds a fresh herbaceous note but can be omitted.
  • Serve with chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
