From appetizers to side dishes to condiments, there are so many ways to take a boring, plain menu and make it flavorful and memorable. With only a few ingredients and simple steps, you can serve up an appetizer that will awaken the taste buds, a side dish that perfectly complements the main dish, and a main dish that is full of flavor thanks to homemade condiments.
When you’re at the store perusing the aisles trying to find the perfect ingredients for your next menu, you most likely stop by the produce, bakery, meat, and dairy sections. It looks like we’re forgetting a section … that’s right, the pickle section. Did you ever think to open up a jar of pickles and get creative with your dishes?
The next time you’re at the store and you’re shopping for side dish ingredients, be sure to pick up a jar of the Vlasic Farmer’s Garden products. The products are made with only fresh, locally grown cucumbers and authentic ingredients … all of which emphasize that the simple things in life bring us the greatest pleasure.
Celebrating the authentic taste of #FarmToJar, Farmer’s Garden by Vlasic wants everyone to experience the delicious fresh taste of honest ingredients, as well as hand-picked herbs and spices that make up the perfect premium pickle. I couldn’t agree more. With only a few simple ingredients and steps, you’ll have a flavorful side dish recipe that will please all of your guests … especially the guests who love pickles.
Here are simple pickle side dishes:
- Pickled Mango Relish Grilled Salmon
- Smokey Egg Salad Stuffed Tomatoes

Jen, I adore pickles, especially sweet pickled jalapenos. They taste amazing on oven baked Texas fries :) Thanks for the fun reminder that pickles make everything better!
