Smashed Pickle Salad

A bright, briny take on a smashed cucumber salad. Eat this fun side dish with fried chicken, grilled meats, or on a sandwich for an added tangy crunch.

Ingredients:

  • 1/2 red onion, sliced thinly on a mandolin
  • 4 The Real Dill Habanero Horseradish Dills pickle spears, cut into bite size
  • 1/4 cup The Real Dill Habanero Horseradish Dills pickle brine
  • 2 celery stalks, thinly sliced on a mandolin
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp mayo
  • 2 tbsp fresh dill, chopped
  • 1/4 cup marinated artichoke hearts

 

Directions:

  1. Add sliced red onions and pickle brine to a bowl. Stir to completely coat the red onions in the pickle brine. Set aside for at least 30 - 60 min.
  2. Once your red onions have sat in the brine, drain and set aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, add the Habanero Horseradish Dills pickle spears, and gently smash with a fork or potato masher to release a bit of the juice.
  4. Add the marinated red onion, celery, sour cream, mayo, dill, and artichoke hearts to the pickles, and stir until everything is incorporated. Serve immediately.
