Instructions
Make sure you pull your cream cheese out of the fridge about an hour before you want to make the dip, so it softens to room temperature.
Cream together the sour cream and cream cheese in a medium bowl. No need for any fancy equipment for this, simply use a rubber spatula or a whisk. Beat until the mixture is smooth and free of any clumps of cream cheese.
Stir in the dried dill, the chopped dill and the pepper.
Next up, chop the pickles into small dice. If your family loves dill pickles, you can add more. If you'd rather leave the pickles out, then add another ½ teaspoon of dried dill and 1 teaspoon of red wine vinegar. Stir the pickles into the mixture.
Finally, stir in the pickle juice. Add 1 tablespoon and then check the consistency of the dip. If you'd like a looser dip, add another teaspoon of juice until it reaches the consistency you like.
Taste the dip and add salt if you need to. The pickle juice and pickles add salt to the dip, so depending on the pickles you use you may or may not need to add salt.
Transfer the dip to a serving dish, cover and set in the fridge for at least an hour before serving. Serve with your favourite dippable veggies or chips.
