We’re not saying that there’s never a context in which a sandwich or burger can be considered complete without pickles. What we would venture to say, however, is that there’s almost never a situation where pickles wouldn’t improve a sandwich or burger. And Trader Joe’s Kosher Dill Pickle Chips, available now in our refrigerators, are particularly suited for such improvement. Much of that is owed to the fact that, after our supplier slices them into perfectly sized, crinkle-cut rounds, they’re cold-packed in a savory, well-seasoned brine, which helps them maintain their delectably crisp structure more than their hot-packed, shelf stable cousins. All that results in a fresher feel, fuller flavor, and an even more satisfying textural elemental for anything they’re added to.

Speaking of which, in addition to topping burgers and sandwiches, these Dill Pickle Chips are awesome for layering on top of avocado toast, homemade foccacia, or, for the particularly adventurous, pizza. Beyond their uses as a topping, they’re also great for mincing and mixing into appetizer dips, pastas, picnic salads, soups, quiches, and deviled eggs. And for a classic pub treat, try battering them, deep frying them until they’re crispy, then serving with Everything and the Elote Greek Style Yogurt Dip.
