"Fried" Pickles with Homemade Sirracha Ranch
Author: 
Serves: Makes about 36 pickles
 
*This makes A LOT of ranch, you can either double the pickle recipe or had the ranch recipe OR save the extra sirracha ranch for something else! (This is what I did)
Ingredients
Pickles:
  • 3 pickles, sliced in ⅛ inch slices
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ cup flour
  • 1 egg white + 1 tablespoon water
Sirracha Ranch:
  • ½ cup buttermilk
  • ¼ cup light sour cream
  • ¼ cup + ⅛ cup low fat mayo (I found that for my taste ½ cup was too much and ¼ was too little, start with a ¼ cup and see how you like the consistency; add more if needed)
  • 1½ tablespoons minced green onion
  • ½ tablespoon minced flat leaf parsley
  • 1 very small garlic clove grated (if cloves are large only use half)
  • ¼ teaspoon + ⅛ teaspoon garlic powder
