Creative Uses for Pickled Cucumbers: 12 Ways to Serve Our Jars

A jar of pickles is not just a side. Pickled cucumbers are the crunchy, tangy upgrade for almost anything you already eat. Here are twelve creative ways to use them, and the [PICKLES] jar we would reach for each time.

12 creative uses for pickled cucumbers

1. Top a burger

Classic for a reason. The Dill Chips are the burger chip.

2. Build a better board

Add a pickle to every charcuterie or cheese board. The Vintage plays well with sharp cheddar. See bold pickles for boards.

3. Upgrade a fried chicken sandwich

Sweet and spicy is the move: The Heat and Sweet with red jalapeños.

4. Garnish a Bloody Mary

A spear of The Horse Pickle or The Zesty Okra on the rim, with The Pickle Brine in the glass.

5. Pour a pickleback

A shot followed by a pickle-brine chaser. The Pickle Juice is bottled and ready.

6. Chop into a dip

Chop a few of The Dill Chips into your favorite creamy dip for crunch and tang.

7. Add crunch to grain bowls and salads

Slice The Kosher Dill Spears over a grain bowl, a wrap or a potato salad.

8. Give grilled cheese a kick

Tuck a few slices of The Hot Pickle inside before the pan.

9. Make game day easy

Open four jars and call it a spread. See our tailgate pickle spread and game day snack guide.

10. Dare your friends

The Ghost Pickle is a 4 out of 5 and the only jar that stings. Perfect for a party challenge. See the heat scale.

11. Sip the brine after a workout

Vinegar brine naturally contains electrolytes like sodium and potassium, and a pickle-brine shot is a post-workout classic. The Power Sour has the brine to finish. More in pickle gifts for runners.

12. Give them as a gift

A jar is the gift that gets eaten, not re-gifted. See pickle stocking stuffers under $25.
