- Fresh dill, chopped, 2 tablespoons
- Garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon
- Onion powder, 1/2 teaspoon
- Kosher salt, 1/4 teaspoon

Instructions
- Gather tools and ingredients so everything is within reach.

- Finely chop dill pickles and fresh dill on a cutting board.
- Stir chopped pickles, dill, pickle juice, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper into the creamy base.

Notes
- Use cold ingredients for a naturally thicker texture.
- If dressing becomes too thin, whisk in a spoonful of sour cream or mayo.
- Chill time deepens flavor, so plan for at least 1 hour.
- If the flavor is too sharp, a small pinch of sugar can balance it.
- Stir in a splash of pickle brine right before serving for extra zing.
