Drain the entire jar of Grillo's pickles and reserve the brine.
Chop the pickles into small, quarter-inch cubes to ensure manageable dipping.
Chop the Veggies:
Finely chop the jalapeño, adjusting size based on your heat preference.
Chop the green onions, using about 1/3 cup or approximately four scallions.
Mix the Dairy Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, sour cream, and Greek yogurt.
Gradually add the ranch seasoning mix and a tablespoon of the reserved pickle brine. Mix until well combined and smooth.
Combine the Mixture:
Fold in the chopped pickles, jalapeño, green onions, bacon bits, and shredded cheddar cheese. If the mixture is too thick, add more pickle brine until you reach your desired consistency.
If using hot sauce, add a few dashes for an extra kick.
Transfer and Serve:
Carefully spoon the dip back into the reserved Grillo's pickle jar or a serving bowl.
Garnish with additional green onions or cheese if desired.
Enjoy:
Serve the dip with tortilla chips, crackers, or fresh vegetables.
