Ingredients
Scale
Base Ingredients
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup chopped pickles
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1 (1.5-ounce) packet ranch seasoning
- 1/4 cup pickle juice
Toppings (Optional)
- Reserved toasted panko breadcrumbs
- Reserved chopped pickles
- Dill, for garnish
Instructions
- Toast the panko. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the panko breadcrumbs and toast, stirring often, until they turn golden brown and fragrant, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside, reserving some toasted panko for topping.
- Prepare the dip mixture. In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, ranch seasoning packet, pickle juice, chopped pickles (reserving some for topping), and the remaining toasted panko. Stir well to incorporate all ingredients evenly.
- Add toppings if serving immediately. Transfer the dip to a serving bowl and sprinkle with reserved chopped pickles, toasted panko breadcrumbs, and fresh dill to add a burst of flavor and texture.
- Store for later serving. If not serving immediately, place the dip mixture (without toppings) in an airtight container and refrigerate. When ready to serve, stir and transfer to a serving dish, then add the reserved toppings just before presenting.
Notes
- To enhance the flavor, use crunchy dill pickles for the best texture contrast.
- For a spicier version, add a dash of cayenne pepper or hot sauce to the dip mixture.
- Serve with potato chips, crackers, or fresh vegetable sticks for dipping.
- Make sure to toast the panko breadcrumbs carefully to avoid burning and to achieve a perfect golden color.
- This dip is best enjoyed within 2 days when refrigerated.
