    There is nothing like a dill pickle to liven up your lunch, for we all know that where there is a “crunch,” there is complete happiness. Avoiding store-bought pickles, full of salt, sugar, and preservatives can be a difficult hardship to overcome when you are new to a Paleo lifestyle.

    Simple Dill-Garlic Pickles

    Luckily there are ways to still enjoy this green little appetizer. Quick refrigerator pickles can be made at home with a few simple ingredients, plus you can get creative and add your own favorite herbs and make it as spicy as you like.

    The cucumber is a humble fruit with loads of vitamins and minerals such as potassium, magnesium, and anti-inflammatory vitamin K. Beautifully green on the outside and in, they are wonderfully low in carbohydrates and high in fiber.

    Not only do they taste great, they help relieve stress in a myriad of ways. This is a quick and easy way to make a simple pickle; if you are in search of a greater nutritional boost, you may consider adding the magic of lacto-fermentation to your diet.

    For a non-traditional breakfast, give your Eggs Benedict a garlic pickle sidekick to start the day on the right side of the plate.

    You can also eat the pickles straight out of the jar, as Paleo finger foods have a special way of bringing out your primal side. And if you are hankering for a classic combination of flavors, pair it with an All-American Burger on a portobello bun.
