Substitutions/variations:
Substitutions/variations:
- Chop dill pickles if dill relish is not available
- Add a bit of mayonnaise, sour cream, milk or dill pickle juice if dip is too thick
- Substitute sour cream for the cream cheese
- Small cans of ham – about the size of tuna cans – can generally be found near the tuna. You can also use roughly chopped deli ham – or leftover baked ham.
- Substitute a can of drained tuna (or smoked tuna) for the ham – be careful to mix in gently so it doesn't turn to mush
- Omit the meat for a vegetarian version
