Notes

*nutritional information calculated without the chips.

For a gluten-free fried pickle dip, you will need to use GF French Fried Onions, otherwise the dip should be naturally gluten free (though I always recommend double-checking all ingredients!).

Lighten it up by using light sour cream and 1/3 less fat neufchâtel cream cheese! The dip will be slightly softer, but the flavor should be very similar.
