Dill Pickle Bites
Love the crunch and zing of dill pickles? Then you'll love these savory little Dill Pickle Bites! They're addictively delicious.
My husband is a dill pickle addict. And, honestly, I'm not too far behind him on that. We both adore them. And these cute and crunchy little Dill Pickle Bites are such a fun and tasty way to enjoy them!
I had these for the first time about three years ago when someone brought a big platter of them to school for us teachers to snack on. I had no idea what they were, except that there was a pickle in the middle. And there's no way I can resist a dill pickle, so I just had to give them a try.
Addictively good.
Even if you're not a dill pickle addict.
We also love them with a little twist to the original ... adding a layer of salami wrapped around the pickle, which was inspired by my Mom.
As a little snack when I was growing up, my Mom used to spread a bit of cream cheese on slices of salami and roll them up. I loved these little quick Salami & Cream Cheese Bites! Based on that snack, I figured why not try salami in these dill pickle bites?
Great idea, if I do say so myself.
Whipping up Dill Pickle Bites is pretty easy, too. Who doesn't love a little bite that's both tasty and easy, right?
Start by mixing up a cream cheese filling flavored with a bit of dill and grated onion. I find the easiest way to grate onion is with a rasp grater that I place right over the bowl. If you don't have a rasp grater, a regular cheese grater will work.
Cut the crusts off slices of white bread {I used whole wheat white}, and roll the bread flat with a rolling pin. Then spread it with the cream cheese mixture, and place a baby kosher dill pickle smack in the middle.
Then roll the pickle up all snug and cozy.
Refrigerate overnight so the flavors get all happy together, and then slice each pickle roll-up into individual dill pickle bites.
Mmmmmmm, serve up a platter of totally yummy Dill Pickle Bites. So good, they're totally addictive.
Thank you for stopping by . We'd love to have you back soon!
