Ingredients and Variations
This is the fun part! Dill Pickle Salad can be made so many ways. It’s a new creation every time!
VEGETABLES: Cauliflower is a low-carb lover’s dream! But a colorful blend with broccoli or quartered brussels sprouts gives it a whole new look and an extra boost of nutrition and fiber. Frozen cauliflower can be used and will help decrease the time the salad needs to chill before serving. Toss in some peas & sliced grape tomatoes as well. Sweet pickles can be switched out for dill pickles to change up the flavor too.
CHEESE: Strong cheddar cheese complements the tangy flavor of pickle juice as well as adds color to the dish. Crumbled bleu cheese or feta can be substituted for the cheddar.
DRESSING: The bold dressing is what makes this salad unforgettable. But adding a tablespoon of mustard or some Ranch dressing will make the dressing even richer and thicker to cling to the ingredients! Or, add a scoop of relish for something extra.
