Bubbies Spicy Bread & Butter pickles are available at Whole Foods Markets, online and more.

The product is just 50 calories per serving and gluten-free. Good Foods formulated its innovative, cauliflower-based Dill Pickle Chip Dip to be allergen-friendly, free of milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans and sesame ingredients. Dill Pickle Chip Dip can be enjoyed with a variety of dippers or as a complement to zesty recipes like fried chicken sandwiches, as a salad dressing or as a base for your slaws.
