Mix of red/yukon potatoes (boiled with skin, small chunks or whatever size you like) tossed with thinly sliced red onion (I soak it in white vinegar for a bit to lessen the sting...throw in a few tsps of the vinegar mixture to make the dressing), lots of fresh dill, whole grain mustard, a little mayo, salt, pepper, and maybe some additional add ins you like such as tiny pieces of celery or chopped parsley. No bacon, so there's something vegetarian. (Or serve with bacon crumbles on the side if you must have bacon flavor.)
A small plate with kosher dills, baby gherkins or dills, bread and butter chips, pickled beets (jar is fine), maybe an small bowl of sauerkraut if the hosts don't plan to have it, and something else fun like pickled okra or carrots or green beans. Like a charcuterie board...but pickles.
Love the idea of the pickle plate!
