What is a pickle in a blanket made of?

Typically, a pickle in a blanket is made with a dill pickle, a layer of cream cheese, and a wrap—usually deli meat like ham or turkey. However, you can easily sub in tortillas, lettuce, or even vegan cold cuts to customize it.

Is pickle in a blanket healthy?

It depends on your ingredients. Use low-sodium pickles, lean protein, and a light spread for a high-protein, low-carb snack. It’s great for meal prep or even as part of a budget-friendly protein snack .

Can I make pickle wraps in advance?

Absolutely. You can assemble them up to 24 hours ahead. Just store them rolled (not sliced) in an airtight container, and slice just before serving for the best texture.

Do I need toothpicks or foil?

Not at all. If you roll them tightly, they’ll hold on their own. But for parties or lunch trays, toothpicks are a great way to serve them neatly—especially if you’re pairing them with green orzo salad or a light appetizer spread.
