Grillo's Pickle Dip

 You can use kosher dills with this, but it will give it a different taste.  Grillo's Dill Pickles aren't as dill as the kosher dills.  You could also add fresh chopped dill to the recipe to make it more dill This is great dip with crackers, Fritos, carrots, celery, pita bread, and broken up pieces of  Italian for French bread.
