Recycle your Pickle Juice!

Pickle juice is one of those things that just does not go bad. It seems a shame to throw it away with so much life left in it! Check out this link for some cool tips on ways to reuse your pickle juice! http://www.ilovepickles.org/node/16
 Here's a couple of my favorites!
 "Add cut-up raw carrots, celery sticks, broccoli and cauliflower florets, and red and green pepper strips directly to the jar of any type of leftover pickle juice. Make sure to keep these tangy tidbits refrigerated. The marinated veggies are great for snacking on straight from the jar or become an innovative addition to a crudité platter. "
"Slip sliced onions into a jar of sweet-hot bread and butter pickle juice. The "pickled" onions liven up turkey, chicken or ham sandwiches, as well as hamburgers. "
"Pickle liquid mixed in with the mayo can give a new twist to your time-honored potato salad. Or, try this Dilled Potato Salad: combine cooked red- skinned potatoes, cooked-till-crisp-tender green beans, sliced black olives and chopped dill pickle. Toss with a dressing of 1/3 cup oil, and 1 Tablespoon each of pickle liquid, country-style Dijon mustard, lemon juice and chopped fresh dill."  (I gotta try that one!)

Update--  Try using pickle juice for a quick 3 bean salad! Just add beans! 

Another Update-- Just had some veggies (the ones in the picture) I had soaking in sweet pickle juice for about a week. VERY YUMMY!!!  :)
