- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 1 teaspoon dried dill)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Soften the cream cheese by leaving it at room temperature for 10 minutes or microwaving for 15 seconds without melting.

Notes
Use full-fat cream cheese and sour cream for best creaminess. Chill for at least 30 minutes for best flavor. Taste before adding salt as pickles can be salty. Chop pickles finely but not too finely to maintain texture. Serve with crunchy dippers like crackers, toasted bread, or fresh veggies. Avoid freezing as it changes texture.
