Bacon Wrapped Pickle Spears
These are great for a lake day, pool party, watch party, or a casual get-together. They travel well and can be made ahead and reheated. Serve them as an appetizer with a simple dip, like white BBQ sauce. They pair nicely with grilled lime chicken as a side.
Wrap each spear tightly and place them seam side down so they hold their shape as they cook or use toothpicks to secure the bacon. Use a rack over a baking sheet to help the bacon crisp on all sides. I like this recipe because it is low-carb and easy to prep in minutes, and using a light sprinkle of low-salt seasoning adds flavor without making it too salty.
