Two words we never thought we’d see together: pickle and sushi. Then again, dill pickles are the perfect crunchy low-carb snack, and who doesn’t love fresh maki prepared and presented in a pretty sliced spiral? So when this viral mashup hit TikTok, we couldn’t help giving it a try with the help of our friends at Good Girl Snacks. We used their original dills, but you can also try the Harissa Honey version for a smoky, peppery bite.

It turns out this seemingly unusual recipe isn’t that far from a traditional sushi roll. Ever heard of an oshinko roll? If you’re not familiar, it’s a roll with sushi rice and pickled daikon radish in the center—the ideal gateway sushi for newbies or the raw fish averse. Like the oshinko roll, this pickle sushi recipe is one of the easiest beginner rolls to put together: Just cook the rice, spread, top, and roll. A drizzle of Primal Kitchen Yum Yum Sauce on top adds a creamy, savory flavor with a touch of sweetness to contrast the sour dill. Trust us, this recipe will surprise you!

Directions

Place a sheet of nori shiny side down on a bamboo rolling mat.
Spread the sushi rice onto the nori and smooth it out evenly, leaving 1 inch without rice at the bottom.
Lay 2 dill pickles end-to-end horizontally in the center of the nori sheet.
Use the bamboo mat to roll the sushi starting at the end closest to you and rolling up away from you using both hands. Dip your fingers in water and dab water across the seam of the sushi roll (like sealing an envelope), then gently press to seal.
Slice into sushi-sized pieces.
Drizzle with Yum Yum sauce. Dip in extra sauce and enjoy!

Recipe Note

Nutritional information calculated using Cronometer.
To make sushi rice: Start by rinsing 2 cups of long-grain Japanese rice. Place rice in a saucepan with 2 ½ cups water. Bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and cook, covered, about 20 minutes or until the rice is tender and the water has been absorbed. While the rice is cooking, heat ⅓ cup rice vinegar, 2 Tbsp salt, and 1 Tbsp avocado oil in a small pan until the salt dissolves. Remove from heat and let it cool. After the rice is done, pour in the vinegar mixture and mix until rice is sticky (don’t overmix).
