Use the Pickle Juice Too!

Posted on by Karen Blakeslee

After enjoying those crunchy pickles, use the pickle juice to add flavor to other dishes. Here’s some options:

  • Mix pickle juice with some olive oil and fresh herbs for an easy marinade.
  • Add pickle juice to BBQ sauce for some tangy flavor.
  • Chop raw vegetables into pickle juice, refrigerate and marinate.
  • Add pickle juice to your potato salad recipe to boost flavor.
  • Pickle juice is a great addition to Bloody Mary beverages. Garnish with a pickle spear!
