Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz cream cheese softened
  • ⅓ cup diced red onion
  • ¼ cup pickle juice
  • 2 teaspoons finely chopped garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Old Bay seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon coarse ground black pepper
  • 2 cups diced pickles

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, combine softened cream cheese, red onion, pickle juice, garlic, Old Bay seasoning, and pepper. Using a hand mixer, blend until smooth and evenly incorporated.
  • Fold in diced pickles, mixing until distributed.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 3 hours or up to three days to allow flavors to develop.
  • Serve chilled with chips, crackers, veggies, or as a sandwich spread.

Notes

  • Use well‑drained pickles to avoid thinning the dip.
  • Soften cream cheese thoroughly for easier mixing.
  • Taste before chilling—adjust seasoning, pickle juice, or salt as needed.
  • Stir before serving, as dip may firm or separate slightly during chill.
  • Store in airtight container; best within 2–3 days.
