As many of you know my family and I are new to the South. We are from the Northeast and have been on a culinary adventure since we moved to the Dallas/Fort Worth area. Holy moly there are so many fantastic restaurants to try.

On Saturdays we always go out to lunch. One of our favorite places to eat is the Fish City Grill. They have amazing fish tacos and fried pickles. Originally from the North I have never heard of a fried pickle. The waitress sold me on it, I had to try it.  At first I wasn’t sure, so I had another one, and then another. Well let me tell you we cleaned the plate. Hey, it’s Saturday we can splurge, right… So my husband suggested I try to make a healthier version. This was the end result and I am pretty excited for how well they turned out!

I paired these little delights with Simply Organic Southwest Ranch greek yogurt dip mix. The dip was really easy to make and tasted awesome! Simply Organic carries a wonderful line of spices and herbs!
