Ingredients
Scale
For the Toasted Panko
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
For the Dip
- 1 cup chopped pickles
- 2 cups sour cream
- 1 1.5-ounce packet ranch seasoning
- 1/4 cup pickle juice
Optional Garnishes
- Dill (optional)
- Reserved toasted panko breadcrumbs
- Reserved chopped pickles
Instructions
- Toast the Panko: Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add panko breadcrumbs and cook, stirring frequently, until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside, reserving some for topping.
- Prepare the Dip Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the chopped pickles (reserving some for garnish), sour cream, ranch seasoning packet, pickle juice, and the remaining toasted panko breadcrumbs. Stir thoroughly to blend all ingredients evenly.
- Serve Immediately or Store: If serving right away, transfer the dip to a serving dish and sprinkle the reserved chopped pickles, toasted panko, and optional dill on top for garnish.
- Storing for Later: If you plan to serve later in the day, place the dip mixture without the toppings in an airtight container and refrigerate. When ready to serve, transfer to a bowl and add the reserved toppings to maintain their crunch and freshness.
Notes
- To retain the crispiness of the toasted panko, always add it just before serving.
- This dip pairs well with fresh vegetable sticks, tortilla chips, or crackers.
- You can adjust the amount of pickle juice and ranch seasoning to taste if you prefer a stronger or milder flavor.
- For additional flavor, fresh dill can be sprinkled on top optionally.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
