I had a few requests to lighten this viral recipe up and I’m glad I did. We all loved it and the flavor was even better the next day, so perfect to prep ahead of time for an app, dip for tailgating, or entertaining. I poured the remaining unused pickle juice into a lidded jar with thinly sliced red onion and the juice of a lemon for my easy quick pickled onion recipe too. Easy peasy!
INGREDIENTS
1 - 32 oz jar of pickles, chopped (used grillo brand)
1/4 c pickle juice
1/4 c sweet relish
1/2 c green onion, chopped (white + light green stems)
1 - 2 T fresh jalapeños, diced small and deseeded
1 - 4 oz package uncured turkey pepperoni, diced small
1 c shredded cheddar, I used sharp
12 oz low-fat whipped cream cheese
1 c nonfat Greek yogurt or cottage cheese (blended smooth)
1 - packet ranch seasoning or 3 T ranch seasoning
a dash of buffalo hot sauce
STEPS
1)Add all ingredients to a large bowl and stir until combined.
2) Pour back into the pickle jar if desired. Serve with chips and/or crackers and veggies.

Oh yay! Thanks so much for commenting
I am dairy free but would really love to try this. Any thoughts on modifications for the dairy? 😬

Have you tried without the relish and if so, would you omit anything else for balance? Not a sweet pickle/relish fan
