Hosting a dinner party is not as easy as it sounds, especially if your guests happen to be passionate foodies. If you’re running out of ideas about what to serve at your next gathering, pickle sandwiches are here to save the day.

Food blogger @jillsmat shared this fun idea with the hit keto recipe aggregator Diet Doctor, and we’ve been obsessed about it ever since. The list of original ingredients includes turkey, tomatoes, lettuce, red onions, and cheese, but you can eliminate or add as many ingredients as you want—as long as they fit inside a pickle.

Ingredients:

  • 4 large pickles
  • 4 tbsp mayonnaise
  • ½ tbsp mustard
  • 4 oz. deli turkey
  • 1 tomato, sliced
  • 2 lettuce leafs
  • 2 oz. cheddar cheese
  • ¼ red onion, sliced
  • salt and pepper
  • 4 toothpicks

Instructions:

  1. After slicing pickles in half, scoop out the seeds with a spoon to create enough space for the filling. Always use pickles with savory flavor and avoid sweet varieties.
  2. Mix mustard with the mayo and use this mixture to cover the bottom of the pickles.
  3. Fill each pickle sandwich with turkey, tomato, lettuce, red onion, and cheese, and secure them with a toothpick.
