Fried Pickle and Ranch Dip

Kristen-The Epicurean Mouse
This ultra creamy fried pickle and ranch dip is exploding with flavor. Velvety smooth cream cheese, combined with chunks of juicy dill pickles, fresh herbs and all the bold flavors found in ranch dressing. The toasted bread crumbs gives it just the right amount of "fried" flavor. It's addictively good and incredibly easy to make!
