Easiest Crunchy Dill Pickle Recipe
When people say a recipe is easy you might doubt them but seriously this is the easiest crunchy dill pickle recipe. This recipe doesn’t require a jar, it doesn’t require water, it doesn’t require vinegar or sugar or anything else you might typically associate with “pickling.”
I would say these are about half pickled if I had to describe the taste. They are still hard aka crunchy but have all the flavoring of a yummy dill pickle. They also take as little as one night (12+ hours) to make so if you’re craving them today, tomorrow they are ready!
These pair great with any sandwich, burger or wrap. You can also eat them straight or add them to a salad. The taste also depends on how salty you make them. After you try them a few times, play around with how much salt you add.
PS. In the photo I did use a one time ziploc bag but since then I’ve bought reusable “ziploc” bags that are awesome since I’m making these a lot. Check some out here!
