Dill Pickle Chicken Skewers

Get ready for a flavor explosion with these Dill Pickle Chicken Skewers! Boneless chicken thighs soak up all the tangy goodness of pickle brine before being threaded onto skewers with crisp dill pickles. After a quick sear in a grill pan, they're baked until juicy and finished with a zesty, buttery garlic ranch sauce that brings it all together. The key to this dish is the pickle brine marinade. The acidity in the pickle juice acts as a natural tenderizer for the chicken, breaking down muscle fibers and infusing the meat with tangy flavor. Beyond just tenderizing, it also helps the chicken retain moisture, resulting in juicy chicken.

Gin Pickled Onions

My husband makes fantastic pickled red onions, and this gin-infused version is a real standout! These Gin Pickled Onions add gin and vinegar. The flavor is further enhanced with dry spices often found in gin, such as coriander and juniper, along with bay leaves for a truly superior pickled red onion. They brighten up sandwiches, tacos, cheese boards, and burgers, they're an absolute game-changer.

Last week, I made Hot Reuben Dip and this week, it's Hot Cuban Dip. It captures all the flavors of the iconic Cuban sandwich in a dip. It's made with a creamy base of cream cheese and mayonnaise, studded with chunks of ham, Swiss cheese, and tangy pickles, and baked until bubbly and golden brown.

Dill Pickle Pasta Salad

My husband is a bit of a dill pickle fanatic. When we were dating a thousand years ago, I remember going to a market and he bought a jar of dill pickles. They were gone before we got home!
Dill Pickle Pasta Salad is a tangy summer side dish that is perfect for picnics, potlucks, and barbecues. The pasta salad gets dill pickles, cheddar cheese, and a creamy dressing. It’s a refreshing and flavorful salad.

Salmon with Dill Pickle Butter

I love making salmon because you can use many different cooking techniques. You can pan-fry, roast, broil, grill, poach, bake it in foil or wrap it in parchment (Salmon en Papillote). My preferred method is to roast it in the oven. I changed this Salmon with Dill Pickle Butter recipe from pan-frying to roasting it in the oven. I am always looking for recipes that involve dill pickles since my husband loves anything with pickles. This recipe can't get any easier.

Cheesy Pickle Chips

I made these Cheesy Pickle Chips and my family went crazy. It's so quick and easy to make and it's a Keto recipe. You just put some grated cheese in a muffin tin, put a pickle on the cheese, sprinkle with ranch seasoning (you could use your favorite season), top with more cheese, and bake for 10 minutes. As Ina would say, how easy is that!

Bacon Wrapped Pickle and Cheese Stuffed Hot Dogs

I know this Bacon Wrapped Pickle and Cheese Stuffed Hot Dog is a tad over the top! My husband likes anything that involves pickles, so I decided to make it for him. You can grill it or cook it in the oven. If you ditch the bun you have a Keto-friendly meal.
