How to Store Leftover Dip

Store leftovers tightly covered in the refrigerator for up to a couple of days. Before serving, give it a quick stir in case the pickle juice as settled. For best results, I don’t recommend freezing this dip because the ingredients tend to separate.

Variations and Add-ins

  • Greek yogurt: For a bit more tang, you can use Greek yogurt instead of sour cream.
  • Heat: Add a little bit of crushed red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce for spicy kick.
  • Cheese: Stir in some shredded cheddar or Monterey Jack for a creamy, cheesy twist.
  • Crunch: Mix in finely chopped celery or diced red onion for added texture.
  • Roasted garlic: If you like a strong garlicky flavor, you can add a few cloves of roasted garlic to the mixture.
  • Bacon: Crumble cooked, crispy bacon into the dip for a smoky, savory flavor.
  • Other fresh herbs: Fresh parsley, chives, or even a small amount of fresh thyme can add extra layers of flavor to the dip.

FAQs
