Deli Pickle Sandwich Recipe

A pickle sandwich uses large dill pickle halves as the outside structure instead of bread, usually with deli fillings inside.

The pickle gives crunch, acid, and salt in one layer, while turkey, cheese, and lettuce make it eat like a cold deli sandwich.

Choose firm whole pickles that are large enough to hold fillings. Very soft pickles will split or leak.

Hollow, dry, spread lightly, fold the fillings, then close. Drying is the step that keeps the sandwich from sliding.

There is no bread here; the pickle is the frame. If you want bread, use the same filling in a soft sub roll.
