Pickle Butter
Just a few ingredients transform butter into a tangy, flavorful, zesty spread that’s loaded with chopped pickles, herbs, and lemon zest. Perfect for spreading on sandwiches, crackers, and toast, or dolloped on grilled meats & veggies.
I couldn’t wait to make this easy dill pickle butter after seeing an Instagram reel of Chef Ayesha Nurdjaja making it. I had all the ingredients on hand and thought it would be perfect for sandwiches!!!

I’m sure this will go perfectly with fish as well. Sounds like a good tangy butter.
Bet it would be fantastic spread over some sourdough bread 🙂
This looks very interesting. I really like dill pickles but never would have thought of mixing them with butter.
