Dill Pickle Dip - a unique and flavorful dip that is always the surprise hit of the party! Tart and salty, it tastes just as you imagine it will!
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.

YESSSS. I am obsessed with pickles. One time, I ate 1/2 a jar and it was awesome. The next day. I looked like a puffer fish. That wasn't as awesome but my cheeks were pinchable.
I can't believe this has cashews too. Stop it.
Kristina Sloggett says
yep, I know this puffiness, I too have been there. pickles? SO WORTH IT.
Josie says
This looks delicious! Never thought about using cashews and pickles to make a dip, you're a genius 🙂
Kristina Sloggett says
this is definitely one that gets side eye looks, but once people try it, they LOVE it.

How long should the cashews be soaked for? I don't know if I can wait overnight 🙂
Bear says
Oh goodness. I just stumbled upon this recipe while reading another one - I can't even remember what I clicked on first to wind up here, but I am so grateful! I have always loved dill pickles. They do not last in my house, and I buy 2+ litres at a time...
I am definitely making this as soon as I get to a store and grab some cashews to soak 🙂
spabettie says
yay - I hope you love it! it's so very good, enjoy!
