Rich cream cheese mixes with ranch seasoning and is filled with coarsely chopped Dill pickle and bits of ham to create this delicious dip.
Ham and Pickle Dip is a popular savory appetizer to serve with crackers and graze on at parties!
Ham and Dill Pickle Dip Recipe
A salty meat with a layer of cream cheese wrapped around a pickle is very popular in our Dried Beef Roll-Ups and Salami Roll-Ups. The same concept can be used to make ham and pickle roll-ups.
Another presentation for these four simple ingredients is stirring them together in a creamy dip.
Salty and savory is also delicious in our Deviled Ham Dip and Potato Chip Dip.
Ingredients Needed
- Cream Cheese – we like Philadelphia since it’s the star of the show in this recipe.
- Ham – can purchase a bag of finely diced ham or cut up your own leftover ham.
- Dill Pickles – about 3 spears works well.
- Ranch Seasoning – we keep packets on hand to make our Ranch Pasta Salad and other great snacks like this.
Step By Step Directions
Soften cream cheese and put in a small mixing bowl. Beat until smooth.
Then add ranch seasoning mix and beat again.
Add chopped dill pickles and very small bits of ham.
Use a spatula to fold in until mixed well. Scoop into a small serving bowl.
Store covered tightly in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Recipe Tips and Tricks
- We tested making this dip with relish instead of chopping pickles and the relish was the overwhelming flavor. Chopping your own dill pickles creates a lot more balance in this ham and pickle dip recipe.
- My friends love using buttery Ritz crackers to dip, my husband prefers Wheat Thins.
- Super easy to make a double batch.
- Sample the finished product and fold in more ham or pickles if you like.
- Great use of leftover Brown Sugar Ham after the holidays for a snack.
