    This Pickle Wrap Dip recipe is an easy party appetizer. #party #dip

    Pickle wrap dip is an easy appetizer fashioned after the popular dill pickle roll-ups featuring cream cheese and deli meat-wrapped pickles.

    Dill pickle wrap dip features a blend of cream cheese and sour cream as a base, with chopped pickles and deli meat mixed in with pickle brine and seasonings for added flavor.

    Pickle Wrap Dip

    This easy dip recipe tastes just like the popular dill pickle wrap party appetizer but is much easier to prepare by mixing a few simple ingredients in a large mixing bowl. Ready in just a matter of minutes, you can bet this will be a sure hit with all pickle lovers.

    Ingredients and Substitutions

    • Cream Cheese 
    • Sour Cream
    • Baby Dill Pickles - You can substitute full-sized pickles or sliced pickles, but I recommend using baby dill pickles specifically because the small pieces are firmer and have more surface area, which adds better texture to your dip. Feel free to substitute homemade refrigerator dill pickles.
    • Pickle Juice - Adding a splash of pickle brine really amp up the dill pickle flavor, which is why I recommend using pickles out of a jar rather than substituting dill pickle relish.
    • Buddig Beef - Other brands also work, you can use any ultra thin dried beef slices similar to Buddig. Alternatively, for a different flavor you could use ham slices instead.
    • Onion Powder
    • Garlic Powder

    Optional add-ins: If you want to add a touch of herbal flavor, green onions are a great addition.

    How to make it

    The pickles and the deli meat are the stars of the show in this recipe. Traditionally wrapped pickles are coated in a blanket of cream cheese, however, cream cheese alone would create too stiff of a dip. Sour cream is added to soften the dip, making it easier to dredge crackers without breaking them. The pickle juice helps this as well, while also adding a lot of flavor.

    Make your pickle wrap dip recipe by adding all ingredients to a large bowl and mix well to combine. It is easiest to use a hand mixer, but a fork or whisk works well enough too.

    Tip: I combine cream cheese and sour cream first to ensure it blends well. If the cream cheese isn't sufficiently softened there will be chunks in the mixture that can be gently warmed to melt out.

    This is a great dip to make in advance of your party. The flavors will meld together better overnight and the dip will maintain the right consistency and texture for days. If you are serving this at a party there is no need to fuss with this at the last minute. If your guests love pickles as much as I do, serve it with my Dill Pickle Pasta Salad too!

    What to serve with pickle wrap dip

    You can use your favorite cracker with pickle wrap dip, however, I think the buttery flavor of Ritz crackers works exceptionally well, as would pita chips. There is no need to grab gourmet crackers for this dip. Tortilla chips get an honorable mention. They are not my favorite item to dip, but they work well.

    How to store leftovers

    Whether you are making this delicious dip in advance, or have leftover pickle wrap dip from your party, store it in an airtight container in your refrigerator, or at least covered in plastic wrap, to prevent the dip from soaking up off-flavors from other items in the fridge. The dip should be enjoyed within 5 days.

      I make it on crescent roll crust----like a veggie pizza. Make the creamy part first with all of the ingredients except chopped pickles and ham. Spread the creamy part on the baked crust and then sprinkle lots of chopped ham and pickles all over it.

      I will sub green onions for the meat, maybe sprinkle in Ranch Seasoning or a few drops of Worcestershire sauce. Do you have a favorite brand of dill pickles?
      Thanks!

      Is it Budding beef or Buddig as in the brand name?
