- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Combine base ingredients: In a medium bowl, combine the sour cream and mayonnaise, stirring until smooth and well blended.
- Add pickles and seasonings: Stir in the finely chopped dill pickles, dill pickle juice, Dijon mustard, and garlic powder, distributing them evenly throughout the mixture.
- Incorporate fresh dill and season: Add the fresh chopped dill and season the dip with salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
- Mix thoroughly: Blend all the ingredients together until the dip is uniform in texture and color.
- Chill to develop flavor: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and intensify.

Notes
- For a tangier taste, increase the amount of dill pickle juice slightly.
- Use fresh dill for the best flavor, but dried dill can be used if fresh is unavailable—reduce quantity to 1 teaspoon dried.
- This dip can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Adjust salt carefully, as pickles and pickle juice already add saltiness.
- To make it low-fat, substitute light sour cream and light mayonnaise.
