# Top Tips:
01 -
- It comes together in under ten minutes but tastes like you spent way more effort on it
- The pickle juice trick cuts the heaviness of all that dairy while adding an addictive brine punch
02 -
- This dip actually tastes better after sitting for an hour in the fridge so all the flavors can really get friendly with each other
- The pickle amount might seem excessive but trust the recipe because the cream cheese base needs that much brine to cut through
03 -
- Room temperature ingredients mix so much better so plan ahead and pull everything out of the fridge together
- If the dip seems too thick after refrigeration stir in a teaspoon of milk to bring it back to the perfect consistency
