Dill Pickle Dip
What does it mean when we crave something salty? For me, the craving was so strong I not only reached for a bag of Ruffles, I also created this pickle-perfect dip.
The dip surprised a crowd at a small get-together — initial puzzled looks quickly turned into requests for the recipe. It’s simple, tangy, and exactly what you imagine when you think “pickle dip.” I often make a double batch to use as a spread for sandwiches and wraps, and it travels well with raw veggies like broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers, or chips.
