Ingredients

• 1 container (16–32 oz) Nathan’s Pickle Spears, finely chopped
  (reserve 1–2 tbsp pickle juice)
• 8 oz whipped cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt 
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 1 packet ranch seasoning mix
• ½ cup bacon bits 
• ½ cup green onions, chopped
• 1–2 jalapeños, finely chopped (optional for heat)

Instructions

1. Chop your pickles
   Finely chop them so you get a little pickle in every bite (not big chunks).
2. Mix the creamy base
   In a large bowl, combine:
   • cream cheese
   • sour cream/Greek yogurt
   • ranch seasoning
   Stir until smooth.
3. Add the good stuff
   Fold in:
   • chopped pickles
   • shredded cheddar
   • bacon bits
   • green onions
   • jalapeños (if using)
4. Add pickle juice
   Stir in 1–2 tablespoons of the reserved juice for that extra tangy flavor.
5. Chill (if you can wait )
   I keep the container and store in there for easy keeping!
