dill pickle

Tangy sandwich side

A dill pickle is a cucumber that has been preserved in brine flavored with dill, a feathery herb with a distinctive tangy taste.

The pickling process gives the cucumber its characteristic sour, salty flavor and crisp-yet-yielding texture.

Dill pickles are a staple condiment in American cuisine, served alongside sandwiches, burgers, and deli fare.

I asked for extra dill pickles on my pastrami sandwich.
