  • Total Time: 2 hrs 26 mins
  • Yield: 3 cups (serves 16, 3 tablespoons per serving)

Ingredients

Dry Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 3 tablespoons ranch seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Dairy

  • 12 ounces whipped cream cheese
  • 1 cup sour cream

Fresh Ingredients

  • 1 cup dill pickle, finely chopped, plus more for garnish
  • 3 cloves garlic, freshly grated
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped, plus some for garnish
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely snipped, plus some for garnish
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice (1/2 a lemon), freshly squeezed

Instructions

  1. Toast the Panko Breadcrumbs: Add panko to a dry skillet over medium-low heat. Stir occasionally until the breadcrumbs turn golden brown. Remove from heat and set aside to cool, reserving 1 tablespoon for garnish.
  2. Combine Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, add the cream cheese, sour cream, finely chopped dill pickles, ranch seasoning, grated garlic, chopped fresh dill, snipped chives, onion powder, kosher salt to taste, and freshly ground black pepper.
  3. Add Lemon Juice and Mix: Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into the bowl and stir all ingredients thoroughly to combine the flavors.
  4. Incorporate Toasted Panko: Add the cooled toasted panko breadcrumbs (reserve some for garnish) and mix gently until evenly incorporated into the dip.
  5. Chill: Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dip for at least 2 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to develop fully.
  6. Serve: Spoon the chilled dip into a shallow bowl. Garnish with reserved chopped dill pickles, toasted panko, and fresh herbs. Serve alongside wavy chips, pretzel thins, veggies, or as a spread for sandwiches and wraps.
