There are two kinds of people in this world: the kind who unwrap a deli sandwich and set aside the pickle that comes with it aside, and the kind who spot said pickle and pipe up with, “You gonna eat that?”
If you’re in the latter group, you’re undoubtedly tickled (pickled?) by the fact that dill pickles are EVERYWHERE this summer!
They’re a trending flavor in everything from potato chips, to candles (thank you, ALDI), to popcorn, to cocktails.
It makes sense! Pickles have acid and crunch, making them a perfect pairing for creamy dishes like chicken salad.
Pickle Lovers, Meet Your New Favorite Lunch
I first shared this dill pickle chicken salad on Instagram.
I’ve been enjoying this as an open-faced sandwich on hearty, rustic wheat bread toast, but it’s also great for scooping into pitas, onto buttery crackers (hello, Adult Lunchables!), or in lettuce leaves for a low-carb option.

These Recipes Are a Big Dill Too
If your pickle love knows no bounds, then add these recipes to your must-make list.
Easy Refrigerator Pickles
Canning is intimidating; refrigerator pickles are not. Because you store them in the refrigerator, you don’t need to mess with the racks and tongs and hot water baths. This is the perfect way to use up your cucumber harvest too!

Dill Pickle Dip
I use cottage cheese and Greek yogurt to make this tangy, bright dip, which means it sneaks in some extra protein.

Air Fryer Spicy Dill Pickle Chips
Sure, you could use regular potato chips for your dill pickle dip, but where’s the fun in that? Make these homemade pickle chips instead and double-down on the pickle goodness.
