# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It comes together in under ten minutes but tastes like you labored over something complicated
  • The pickle brine cuts through all that rich creaminess so every bite stays interesting
  • People will absolutely ask you for the recipe
02 -
  • This dip actually tastes better after sitting in the fridge for a few hours
  • The pickle chunks soften slightly over time, so add extra if you are making this ahead
  • If it tastes too tangy straight away, give it thirty minutes for flavors to mellow
03 -
  • Use a hand mixer if you want the smoothest base possible without any elbow grease
  • Taste before adding extra salt since both pickles and buffalo sauce bring plenty of sodium
