1/2 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 tablespoons dill pickle juice

1/2 teaspoon Watkins Organic Cayenne Pepper

1/2 teaspoon Watkins Organic Garlic Powder

Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl, combine flour and salt. In another shallow bowl, whisk eggs, pickle juice, cayenne and garlic powder. Combine panko and dill in a third shallow bowl.

Dip pickles in flour mixture to coat both sides; shake off excess. Dip in egg mixture, then in crumb mixture, patting to help coating adhere. Spritz pickles and fryer basket with cooking spray. In batches, place pickles in a single layer in basket and cook until golden brown and crispy, 7-10 minutes. Turn pickles; spritz with additional cooking spray. Continue cooking until golden brown and crispy, 7-10 minutes. Serve immediately. If desired, serve with ranch dressing.

Nacho Triangles with Salsa-Ranch Dip

 trustednaturalhomeproducts.com

1/2 pound ground beef

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1/2 cup shredded pepper jack cheese

1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

1/4 cup frozen corn, thawed

1/4 cup canned diced tomatoes

2 tablespoons Watkins Organic Taco Seasoning Mix

2 tablespoons finely chopped seeded jalapeno pepper

1 tablespoon finely chopped chipotle peppers in adobo sauce

Watkins Black Pepper to taste

32 sheets phyllo dough (14x9-inch size)

3/4 cup butter, melted

1/2 cup ranch salad dressing

1/2 cup salsa

Preheat oven to 375°. In a small skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until beef is no longer pink and onion is tender, 5-7 minutes, breaking up beef into crumbles; drain. Stir in cheeses, corn, tomatoes, taco seasoning, jalapeno and chipotle peppers, black pepper; set aside.

Place 1 sheet phyllo dough on a work surface; brush lightly with butter. Cover with another sheet of phyllo; brush with butter. (Keep remaining phyllo covered with plastic wrap and a damp towel to prevent it from drying out.)

Cut the 2 layered sheets into three 14x3-in. strips. Place 1 tablespoon filling about 1 inch from corner of each strip. Fold 1 corner of dough over filling, forming a triangle. Fold triangle over, forming another triangle. Continue folding, like a flag, until you reach the end of the strip. Brush end of dough with butter and press onto triangle to seal. Turn triangle and brush top with butter. Repeat with remaining phyllo and filling.

Place triangles on greased baking sheets. Bake until golden brown, 12-15 minutes. Combine ranch dressing and salsa; serve with triangles.
