🧄 5 Surprising Foods That Taste Better with Pickled Garlic
If you’ve only used garlic as a minced add-on or flavor base, it’s time to upgrade. Pickled garlic cloves—especially our bold and tangy Really Dilly Garlic—bring a zesty punch to everyday dishes. Whether you're a garlic lover or just garlic-curious, this little jar can take your meals from basic to brilliant.
Here are 5 unexpected (but delicious) foods that are instantly better with pickled garlic:
1. 🥔 Potato Salad
Ditch the raw onions and try chopped pickled garlic instead. The tangy brine and mellow garlic flavor add just the right zip to creamy potato salad—especially in Southern-style recipes.
💡 Tip: Chop 2-3 cloves and fold them in after your dressing is mixed.
2. 🍕 Pizza Topping
Yes, really. Sliced pickled garlic adds a vinegary pop to pepperoni, veggie, or white pizzas. The flavor is more mellow than raw garlic but still bold enough to stand out.
💡 Try it cold after baking for extra crunch, or toss on before the oven for a roasted pickle-garlic taste.
3. 🥗 Pasta & Grain Bowls
Toss chopped Really Dilly Garlic into warm pasta, quinoa, or couscous dishes. It melts into the mix, adding brightness and depth.
💡 Bonus: Use the brine as a tangy base for vinaigrettes or marinades.
4. 🍿 Popcorn (Trust Us)
Crush a clove into melted butter or olive oil, drizzle over popcorn, and sprinkle with salt. The dill + garlic combo adds savory magic without needing cheese or artificial flavors.
💡 Zest it up further with a pinch of your Flavor-Time Southern Seasoning.
5. 🧀 Charcuterie Boards
Whole garlic cloves add visual interest and bold flavor to any snack board. They're the unexpected bite guests will rave about.
💡 Pair with cheddar, salami, pickles, or spicy jams for balance.
