Gherkins are probably most known for being included in many fast food burgers, which is a great use for them. The sharp tang sits well with beef and cheese.
My favourite use for them is in salads. You can even take some of the vinegar to use as a dressing, and because the flavour is quite strong, it can make you feel more satisfied than a salad without them. They are a great little appetite suppressant and contribute to your five a day.
Sandwiches are another perfect way to get some gherkins into your diet. Beef or chicken with salad and gherkins is a great combination.
