You’d be hard-pressed to find a more perfect pairing with a sandwich than a crisp dill pickle. Sure, there have been contenders for the crown over the years, but with all respect to the soups and salads of the world, nothing quite complements a sandwich as well as the briny, herby flavor and juicy, satisfying crunch that only pickles can provide. And Trader Joe’s Kosher Dill Pickle Spears, available now in our refrigerators, are particularly proficient at providing both of those crucial elements. Much of that is owed to the fact that our supplier cold-packs them 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 even more resounding crunch at lunch. Speaking of which, we’re especially fond of packing these Dill Pickle Spears along as a side for work and school lunches, where they’ll help cut through richer flavors, refresh the palate, and allow you to enjoy your meal even more. For that reason, we also find that they make a great addition to cheese plates and charcuterie boards. And for any fans of Chicago-style hot dogs, Pickle Spears like these are an essential inclusion.
