Where my pickle fans at?!?! Holla atcha girl.

What do pickles, bacon, and Bon Jovi have in common?

I get that this sounds like the opening to a really bad Dad joke, but I promise (or regret?) that it’s not. What they do have in common though, is you either love ’em or you hate ’em. There’s no in between when it comes to a kosher dill or JBJ.

You can take the bacon and (please God) Bon Jovi, but the pickles…they’re with me. You know that scene in Bridesmaids where Megan has a van full of puppies. Yeah, that’s how I feel about pickles.

So naturally, I try to incorporate them into anything and everything possible. A little piece of my soul leaves this earth every time I see a jar of pickle juice get tossed down the drain. I take this pickle business pretty seriously.

Watch how to make this Dill Pickle Vinaigrette Dressing (30 sec)

I know I’m not alone in this tribe since my Creamy Dill Pickle Dressing is still one of most visited recipes on this blog. One question I got though, was how to make it if you don’t like avocados? Here I am. Fulfilling my calling for no pickle left behind.

Before you question my sanity for using this neon brine in an actual recipe, hear me out. You use vinegar for a vinaigrette, no? Pickle juice = vinegar = vinaigrette. I didn’t even need to throw seven degrees of Kevin Bacon into the mix to get to the bottom of that.

All you need to make this salad bling is:

  • leftover pickle juice
  • dijon mustard
  • olive oil
  • dill
  • garlic

I mean, they didn’t make pickle jars reusable for nothing. You don’t even need a separate container for this one. Coincidence? I think not. The universe is telling you to make a dill pickle vinaigrette, not me.

Money-Saving Tips for this Dill Pickle Vinaigrette:

  • Use dried spices. I almost always have dried dill and garlic powder stashed away somewhere in my spice drawer. Plus, they can be a cost-effective way to add more flavor.
  • Buy store brand. The store brand and name brand Dijon mustards have an almost identical flavor. Opt for the store brand to save a few extra cents.
