I’ve been saving my dill pickle juice to use for a simple dressing. This Dill Pickle Dense Bean Salad is inspired by my love of dill pickles. It’s so easy to make and it’s packed full of healthy stuff. It’s also one of those salads you make when you want to use whatever is left in your refrigerator before your next grocery haul.
Funny enough I forgot to add diced dill pickles until I added the dressing. It was only when I was putting stuff back in the fridge when I noticed the big jar of pickles.
