Dill Pickle Dip
What does it mean when we crave salt?
My craving was so big it drove me not only to buy a bag of Ruffles, I also conjured up this pickle perfection.
Since we were going to be out of the country from Thanksgiving to yesterday, and gone for most holiday festivities, we had a couple little happenings before we left.
I made this pickle dip for one of them, and after the initial strange looks from just about everyone, it was a big hit.
So simple, and just how I imagined the flavor would be. I made a double batch and used leftovers for sandwich and wrap spreads. It also traveled on vehicles of raw broccoli, cauliflower, bell peppers and once, even a pickle.
The pickle may have been overkill. Just a little.

Janice Boothman says
Why is onion powder listed twice (2 quantities)?
Kristina Sloggett says
thanks, Janice - I honestly have no idea why that was listed twice, and imagine it has to do with transferring this recipe from original format to the recipe card (and changing quantities of this very old recipe). Fixed!
