What to Dip Your Fried Pickles in

You CAN use anything you like for dipping. We prefer a good homemade ranch dressing. But lately, I’ve been making these two ranch dressings variations quite frequently. And they pair perfectly with fried pickles.

Your friends are going to love this new addition to your air fryer appetizers menu! This one joins our other favorite Air Fryer Apps, such as:

If you’re cooking for a crowd you might need to borrow or buy another air fryer to get an entire party of appetizers out for your friends. I prefer a basket style Air Fryer such as a Cosori 5.8 Max XL Basket Style Air Fryer OR the Dual Basket in this Vortex is a nice air fryer too.
