Pickles Recipes

Easy, quick cucumber pickles which may be used as a side dish.

This is a slight tweaking of a recipe I found on restaurantwidow.com. I tried to minimize the salt to keep the sodium levels in check. It came out delicious! My 5-yr-old couldn't stop eating them, when I made it for the first time yesterday, and she is already begging me to make it again. They are the perfect snack because they are full of nutrients with hardly any calories; they taste delicious, and have a very satisfying crunch. If you've never tried kohlrabi, you don't know what you're missing!

The wonderful thing about refrigerator pickles is that they only take about 5 minutes to prepare, and require ZERO steps of the traditional canning process. A friend gave me this recipe and I just thought I would share it.

Best and easiest homemade pickles

Quick summertime snack

This is a HCG PHASE 2 friendly food. I can't remember the young ladies website that I saw this one but it is on pineterest. I love this recipe. It is my favorite I can eat it every day.

A nice side dish

Half em, stuff em, wrap em, wrap again, bake and devour.

found this recipe on the low sodium gourmet website.

These dill pickles will cure your pickle cravings. Unlike bread and butter pickles, these pickles are not sweet, and they have a classic dill pickle flavor. Great on sandwiches or as a healthy snack all by themselves. These pickles will keep in the refrigerator for about eight weeks. They can be eaten after two days of pickling, but they taste best after a week or more. This recipe should not be used for pressure or hot water canning.

This is a light and refreshing salad and it tastes just like homemade pickles!

These take a bit of "curing" time in the fridge, but as soon as you bite into a crunchy, perfectly aged sour garlic dill you'll forget all about the wait! Makes about 3 lbs of pickles - use small, "warty" cukes if you can get them!

The brands make all the difference! The Oscar Mayer Deli Fresh ham is only 45 calories and 1 gram of fat for 6 slices! You can add mustard if you like. The bread is 100 calories a slice with lots of fiber and protein to keep you full. I'd rather a large slice of bread like this one, but that's a personal preference as I'm a volume eater. The becel light margarine is the best I've found that tastes great. It's a total of 35 calories for a teaspoon on each slice of bread. This was the biggest change for me, as I used to use TONS of margarine or butter, but I realize that if I spread this margarine thinly, it still has flavour and moistness to the bread (I don't like Mustard).
Pickles are 4 calories for 2 slices, but they are high in sodium, but I like them. I suppose if you were super healthy you could have cucumber slices or a low calorie vegetable, but I'm not there yet. The Weight watches cheese strings are amazing!!! 50 calories of complete salty yumminess. The 95% fat free Cool Whip is only 8 calories a tablespoon, and it makes a big difference on the 10 calorie jello. Who knew an 18 calorie dessert could be yummy?! This is my 352 calorie lunch :)

Delicious with hamburgers or hot dogs, or served as a side dish.

Makes 1 qt of delicious, sweet and sour pickles with just enough ginger tang to make them interesting! Radishes and carrots get tinted with steamed baby beets in an Asian-inspired brine. I recommend you wait at least 2 weeks before enjoying them, but once you open the jar the possibilities are endless!

the nutrient counts seem wrong to me as the brine is not consumed and can be reused time after time

Makes enough to cover 2 quarts of produce with brine. The nutritional info is figured with green beans but the same brine can be used on cucumbers to be canned.

I can these in the summer. They are delicious!
They taste like a zingy bread and butter pickle.
Good as a side dish or snack. Great with barbeque!

made with honey instead of sugar - surprisingly good! Got this from The Other Side of Fifty blog.

My attempt at satisfying my craving for fried pickles

kale, broccoli and cauliflower stems when pickled make low cal, economic snacks. Also these are tasty toppers for salads and ingredients to low cal potato salad.

Refrigerator pickles are a great summertime snack and take minutes to make. ;)

1 cup servings each

I dislike sweet relish immensely. This was a good swap out for me.
