Being Polish, I love ANYTHING pickled – sauerkraut, radishes, green beans, asparagus, onions, tomatoes, mushrooms, eggs, and, yes, even pig’s feet. (The hint that something ‘gross’ was coming was when I put the word ‘anything’ in all caps. “The more you know! 💫”)
This pickle dip is reaching out to a specific niche (i.e. Pickle lovers such as Snooki) and I know that a lot of people will be green in the face reading it, but I just HAD to share this!
Fighting the battle of the bulge on the daily means I like to find food whether we are talking snacks, entrees, desserts, or just a quick lunch, I try my hardest to have something healthy-ish. (Sidenote: for Lent this year I gave up pizza… if Easter doesn’t come quick, I will have to be locked in a padded room. I miss it terribly!!!) ->see… this is why I say “try” to be healthy. I am obsessed with pizza….🙄
So since I was looking for “healthy” and crunchy and snacky and creamy, I came up with this little ditty and it did NOT disappoint!
Pickle Dip
- 10 mini pickles, chopped into itsy-bitsy pieces
- 1/4th cup of plain Greek yogurt
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Mix it all together. (It’s stupid that this is so simple…)
- Serve with something crunchy!
I know Greek Yogurt sounds iffy so if you aren’t feeling it, use sour cream! But if you are questioning the Greek yogurt at all and think, “hmm… that seems interesting,” I urge you to give it awhirl. Have I steered you wrong yet?? No. No. I haven’t. I mix ranch packets with Greek yogurt and dip veggies in it all the time!
Full disclosure: This container of dip was gone in 5 minutes 😬 I LOVED it so much more than I thought I would!! I hope you try it and like it!
Happy Cooking (and eating)!

Looks like you found a new treat–now we just have to get you making your own pickles and yogurt. 😉 I just put up a homemade yogurt post today, and prior posts give pickle recipes for canning. But be sure to stop by in July: I’m working now on refrigerator pickle recipes that will go live when all of the fresh things you’d want to pickle are in season.

Do–it’s so easy and so delicious. I love to split the batch into lemon cheese and yogurt, but you can make just yogurt from a gallon of milk–or cut the recipe down to the amount you’ll use.
