FAQs
If you are wanting to add in more flavors to this dish then I recommend adding a teaspoon of lemon juice for some zest, or topping it with fresh chives.
Of course! You can make it the day before and store it in your fridge. However I would wait to add the topping of the toasted breadcrumbs until right before serving to keep the crispness and presentation of the dip.
Storage Information
You can store this fried pickle dip in an airtight container in your refrigerator for 3-4 days. With the significant number of dairy products in this dip, I do not recommend freezing this recipe.
