Joanie's Balanced Bites: What Goes with Pickle Dip
Thanks to the cream cheese and sour cream, we’ve got a nice dose of fats to help support stable blood sugar if you choose to enjoy this with toasty crackers or gut-happy sourdough bread.
If you want to level up the protein, swap plain greek yogurt with the sour cream.
And of course, bring some fiber to the party with fresh veggies like cucumber slices, snacking peppers, carrots and celery.

Frequently Asked Questions About Spicy Dill Pickle Dip
The creamy base is made of sour cream, pickle juice, hot sauce, fresh dill weed, garlic powder or onion powder, cayenne pepper and salt. Then I fold in diced dill pickle spears and minced jalapeno pepper for added spice.
I opted for kosher dill pickles spears because of their classic flavor. I've also seen spicy dill pickles in grocery stores which would definitely drive home the heat in this recipe.
No problem! Just leave out the cayenne pepper and jalapenos and make sure the hot sauce you select is mild in flavor.
I personally love serving this dip with buttered saltine crackers. You can also serve it with potato chips, tortilla chips, pita chips, baguette slices, mini bell peppers or other fresh vegetables. Another option is to sprinkle sliced green onions or chives over the top of the finished dip.
