If you have leftover brine in a pickle jar after the pickles are gone, make a vinaigrette #shorts

If you have a jar of pickles that you’ve eaten and are left with brine in the jar, I have a perfect solution for you! Make a vinaigrette, perfect for salads or anything else you want!

- 1/3 brine (or vinegar)
- 2/3 olive oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped shallot
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 2 tsp Dijon mustard
- 1-2 tsp honey (optional)
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper

O reuse my pickle brine to pickle onions. They're a delicious condiment to so many dishes!

[norawaits]

Yes, i like this. Will be trying this without the salt, because there is plenty of salt already present.
Thank you

Excellent tip! Green olive brine is also good.

I always have SO MANY jars without the pickles/peppers but can't throw out the brine until I need room. Good idea.

Waste not, want not. ♥️ Thanks for a great tip!

Add some chopped tomato, dill pickles and a chopped up hard boiled egg and you have a delicious topping to scoop avocado out with!

Sounds good... personally I would use less salt but love this recipe!

[softsix]

Wow, I can't wait to use this!!! As a pickle/pepper juice drinker, I'm so there!

[Dentiddo]

I have a couple of pickle jars with brine that I’m gonna use to make this awesome vinaigrette! Thank you for the recipe. 😊

I especially like to do this with the brine from a jar of pickled artichoke hearts. So tasty, add sour cream & you have a vegetable dip.

Love this idea. It's also good for heartburn. Just little sips.👍👍

[meganlewis]

I never have pickle juice left over. Everyone always drinks it before the pickles are even gone 🤣

[pikachu]

What a great idea! I ran out of salad dressing but i do have an almost empty jar of chili peppers 🤤ty for the suggestion!

[paradiseawaits]

Wow, just last night, I was trying to figure out what to do with the juice from the pickles. I was not about to throw it out since it was so delicious. I put it back in the refrigerator and told myself to look up on YouTube what to do with all that delicious juice (from a very large jar). Forgot to do it last night but wallow, I saw your video pop up today, and I couldn't believe it! Now I know what to do, thank you so much.
