Preparation Steps
  1. Begin by finely chopping your dill pickles or relish on a cutting board. Transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
  2. In the same mixing bowl, add the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, sour cream, and pickle juice. Blend until smooth and creamy—about 2-3 minutes.
  3. Add the dried dill weed, onion powder, garlic powder, and ranch dressing seasoning. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix for another 1-2 minutes until fully combined.
  4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld.
  5. Transfer the dip to a serving dish, and garnish with fresh dill weed and pickle slices.
  6. Serve with deli-style pretzels, chips, or crunchy veggies for dipping.
