Sulilvan's Suggested Uses

Eat with crackers, potato chips, or whatever your go-to dipper happens to be.. We recommend something solid like a thick-cut potato chip or industrial-strength cracker. Tortilla chips and pita chips work great here too.

Party Dip Pro Tips

• Stock up on dippers: You'll want to have more than enough chips or crackers on hand, because people will resort to using their hands to scoop out any last remaining dip should the chips run out. Don't allow your guests to embarrass themselves or do anything unsanitary. Serve with lots of chips or crackers.

• No double-dipping, but double batches are encouraged: Making a double dose of this pickle dip recipe is easy. Just use a bigger bowl and double the ingredients.

• Skip the bowl-licking: As much as you'll want to, licking the bowl is definitely a party foul, so just make more than you think you'll need.

• Storage: Transfer any leftover dip into an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.

A Pickle-Infused Onion Dip That'll Put Your Guests in a Food Coma

We know it's not technically a dill pickle dip, but this knockout version of onion dip will put your party guests in a food coma. Much like The Party Pickle, this dip is a hit at any gathering, big or small. Perfect for game day, family fun night, or as an easy appetizer, this souped-up pickle-infused onion dip is simply sensational.

Ingredients

Here's what you'll need to whip up this pickle-infused onion dip:

• 8 oz butter

• 1 teaspoon kosher salt (for caramelizing)

• 1 large sweet onion (diced and caramelized)

• 2 cups sour cream

• 1 cup mayonnaise

• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoon white pepper

• 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt

• 3 cups diced SuckerPunch Dill Pickle Spears

Step-by-Step: Making the Sweet Onion Surprise

Step 1: Caramelize the Onions

Begin by caramelizing the onions in 8 oz of butter in a large sauté pan, season with 1 teaspoon of kosher salt. Use low-medium heat to slowly caramelize the onion. This process will take time, but a longer caramelization means a sweeter onion flavor, so be patient!

Step 2: Transfer and Cool

Once they are caramelized, dump the pan of onions (juice included) into a large mixing bowl.

Step 3: Add the Creamy Base

Once cool, add in mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic powder, salt, and pepper, and stir well.

Step 4: Add the Pickles

Add in your pickles and mix until the pickles are evenly distributed.

Step 5: Chill

Cover with plastic wrap and let sit for one hour or until cool.

Important note: Caramelized onions are a must for this recipe! They bring the sweet, rich onion flavor that makes this dip sing, so don't skip this step.

Sulivan's Suggested Uses

There's no wiggle room here. This onion dip is best with a thick-cut, kettle-cooked potato chip. Some relationships are made to last, like dill and pickles or potatoes and onions. Grab a bag of your favorite potato chips and tear into this superior dip.

This dip isn't just for dunking; it makes a great condiment for sandwiches too. A simple spread on any bread or bun will make your burgers better, your barbecue bolder, and your boring bagged lunch a whole lot more exciting. Pickles and onions are a match made in tastebud heaven, and this dip will have your tongue believing in a higher power.

Tips for Making the Best Pickle Dip Every Time

No matter which pickle dip recipe you tackle, keeping a few things in mind will help you nail it:

• Let your cream cheese come to room temperature before mixing: Softened cream cheese blends smoother and creates a creamier dip without lumps.

• Chop your pickles small: Bite-sized chunks are fine for some recipes, but for dip, smaller is better. You want pickle flavor in every scoop.

• Don't skip the chill time: Letting your dip sit in the fridge gives the flavors time to meld together. Patience pays off with pickle dip.

• Go big on dippers: Thick-cut potato chips, sturdy crackers, pita chips, tortilla chips, bell peppers, and baby carrots all hold up to a thick, creamy dip.
