Melt butter in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add pork panko or low-carb bread crumbs and saute until lightly browned. Remove from heat and set aside.
Pat the chopped pickles dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Set aside.
Add the sour cream, cream cheese, parsley, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, pickle juice, salt, and black pepper to a stand mixer or mixing bowl.
Use an electric hand mixer to mix until combined and smooth.
Gently fold in the diced dill pickles, fresh dill, and half of the toasted pork panko or toasted low-carb bread crumbs.
Garnish with the remaining pork panko and optional sprigs of fresh dill.
Substitutions
- Cream Cheese- You can substitute the cream cheese with mayonnaise.
- Sour Cream- Plain Greek yogurt may be used instead of sour cream.
Variations
- If you're a fan of spice, add a dash of hot sauce or a pinch of cayenne pepper for a fiery kick.
- Swap the dill pickles for bread and butter or spicy pickles to change the flavor profile.
- If you want to add a cheesy twist, mix in some grated Parmesan or shredded cheddar.
Serving suggestions and pairing options
- Serve as an appetizer at parties or gatherings, accompanied by various low-carb snacks like zucchini chips, cheese crisps, almond flour crackers, keto chicken nuggets, or celery sticks.
- Use it as a condiment for burgers, sandwiches, or wraps to add a tangy flavor.
- Pair with fresh vegetables such as bell peppers, cherry tomatoes, or radishes for a refreshing and healthy snack.
- Incorporate the dip into your meal prep routine as a flavorful salad dressing or grilled chicken or fish topping.
Equipment
Storage
The dip can be stored in a sealed container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Just make sure to stir it well before serving.
I recommend consuming it fresh for the best taste and texture. Freezing may alter the consistency of the dip.
