pickle dip recipe With Dill and Beet Dust
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: 8 servings 1x
- Diet: Vegetarian
Description
This vibrant pickle dip is a creamy, tangy, and subtly earthy spread boasting a stunning pink hue from natural beet dust. It’s incredibly simple to make, perfect for stress-free entertaining, and can be easily adapted for lighter or vegan options.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (226 g) cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup (120 g) sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
- 1 cup (150 g) finely chopped dill pickles
- 0.25 cup (5 g) finely chopped fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoon beet dust or powder
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 0.125 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prep Ingredients: Allow cream cheese to soften at room temperature until pliable. Finely chop dill pickles and fresh dill, ensuring small, even pieces for uniform texture.
- Combine Base: In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), chopped pickles, about half of the fresh dill, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with a spatula or spoon until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add Color and Blend: Gently fold in the beet dust until it’s evenly distributed throughout the dip. If the dip seems too stiff, add a teaspoon or two of pickle juice to achieve your desired creamy consistency.
- Chill and Serve: Cover the bowl securely and refrigerate the pickle dip for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to fully meld and deepen. Serve chilled with desired accompaniments.
Notes
Allow cream cheese to sit out for at least 30 minutes for the smoothest blend. Use plain Greek yogurt for a protein boost or plant-based cream cheese and sour cream for a vegan option. For a quicker prep, use a food processor to chop the pickles and dill. A splash of pickle juice or a pinch of cayenne pepper can be added for extra flavor.
