It jazzes up tossed salads and more.

However, its not the pickle Im after,its the pickle juice.

Heres why I love it for easily upgrading salads.

That tiny bit of acidity helps brighten any dish, making it taste better instantly.

A happy, quiet kid is the best kid.

While shes munching, I toss salad together with the dressing.

Then I splash a tablespoon or two of pickle juice over the salad and toss it again to combine.

I serve extra pickle juice (and of course, pickles) on the side.

Their pickles are crisp and crunchy and the liquid is flavorful and light thanks to a cold brining process.

If you want to upgrade your next salad, consider adding a bit of pickle juice.

It only takes a tablespoon or two of the brine to add the perfect pop of acidity and salt.
