Ingredients

Scale

For the Dip

  • 1 Tablespoon Butter
  • 3/4 Cup Panko Breadcrumbs
  • 2 Cups Dill Pickles, chopped
  • 2 Cups Sour Cream
  • 1 Packet Ranch Seasoning
  • Fresh Dill, chopped (optional)


Instructions

  1. Toast Breadcrumbs: Heat a pan over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the panko breadcrumbs and toast for 3-5 minutes until fragrant and golden. Remove from heat and set aside, reserving some breadcrumbs for topping.
  2. Mix Dip Ingredients: Chop the dill pickles and add them to a mixing bowl along with most of the toasted breadcrumbs, sour cream, and ranch seasoning. Mix thoroughly until combined. If a thinner consistency is preferred, add a small amount of water or pickle juice gradually.
  3. Assemble and Serve: Transfer the prepared dip to a serving plate. Sprinkle with the reserved toasted breadcrumbs and fresh chopped dill if using. Serve immediately with chips and enjoy.
