Dried beef in place of ham

You can absolutely use dried beef instead of ham. Traditional pickle wraps are sometimes made with dried beef or corned beef instead of ham, so either can work in this dip. Just keep in mind that dried beef tends to be saltier, so you may want to adjust the amount to taste.

Storage information

Store leftover dip in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. I actually think this dip tastes even better after it sits for a few hours because the flavors from the pickles, ham and onion have more time to come together. Give it a good stir before serving.

I don’t recommend freezing pickle wrap dip. The cream cheese and sour cream can separate after thawing, which can make the dip watery or grainy.

I’ve always loved the flavors of classic pickle wraps, but I don’t love the work that goes into spreading, rolling and slicing every single one. That’s why I actually prefer this dip. You get that same creamy, salty, tangy combination of cream cheese, dill pickles and ham, but everything gets mixed together in one bowl in just a few minutes. And I think it tastes even better as a dip!

I make my version with sour cream to loosen up the cream cheese and give it a creamier, more scoopable texture, plus dried onion flakes for a little extra flavor. One thing I learned while testing this recipe is that you definitely don’t want to skip the chill time. It’s good after an hour, but the longer this pickle dip sits in the refrigerator, the better it tastes as the onion softens and all those flavors have time to come together.

This has become one of those easy appetizers I can throw together ahead of time for game day, parties or potlucks without spending forever in the kitchen. I like serving it with keto chips, celery or bell pepper strips, and since it only takes five ingredients, it’s an easy one to make when I need something quick that I know everyone will dig into.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make pickle wrap dip ahead of time?

Yes! I actually recommend making this dip ahead of time because it gets better the longer it sits in the refrigerator. Give it at least one hour to chill, but making it the night before gives the pickles, ham and onion even more time to flavor the dip.

What kind of pickles are best for pickle wrap dip?

I recommend dill pickles for this recipe. They give the dip that classic tangy pickle wrap flavor without adding sweetness. I like to mince them fairly small so you get pickle in every bite.

What kind of ham should I use?

Any sliced deli ham will work. I prefer a savory deli ham that isn’t sweet or honey-glazed. Mince it into small pieces so it mixes evenly throughout the dip and is easy to scoop.

What should I serve with pickle wrap dip?

For a low-carb option, I like serving pickle wrap dip with keto chips, celery sticks, bell pepper strips or cucumber slices. If you aren’t concerned about carbs, crackers and pretzels are great with it too.

Why does my pickle wrap dip seem too thick?

Make sure your cream cheese is completely softened before mixing it with the sour cream. The sour cream helps loosen the cream cheese and makes the dip creamy and scoopable. If it’s still thicker than you like, you can stir in a small splash of pickle juice.

I’m making this for a game day thing in a couple weeks and I’ve never done a dip like this before. Recipe says refrigerate at least an hour, but could I mix it up the night before and leave it? Not sure if the pickles start making it watery if it sits that long.
