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.

Congrats! I have to say, these don't sound very tempting. I do love pickles and I do love ice cream. Maybe next time I'm pregnant or feelin' crazy I'll have to give these a chance.

love dill pickles and since you put the word dip in there too, I am so there! Need to make some of this QUICK 🙂
spabettie says
I hope you love it, Diane! I've heard from several people that made it over the holiday weekend and loved it... I made it for my family and it definitely was a hit! IF you have leftovers? a great sandwich spread!

I make a raw fake chicken salad with pickles in it and it's so good! This time I'm going with fridge pickles that I'm doing myself. They'd be good in this dip too.

denise says
This is perfect to bring to my girls' gathering. I try to bring something new each time that isn't typical and the ladies are surprised and always ask how it's made. I brought bean balls once and they got positive reviews.
Eden says
Pickle overkill?!?! no such thing. Unless you ran over a pickle and killed it. 😉
spabettie says
I would NEVER do any such thing! (and yeah, dipping a pickle into pickle dip was actually good...)
hihorosie says

spabettie says
