Disney Recipe: Make a Whole Batch of Disneyland's Famous Fried Pickles from Home!

We’ve miss walking down Main Street and popping into our favorite Disneyland restaurants.

Disneyland’s Carnation Cafe, a Main Street USA Landmark Since 1955

But, even though we’re not in the parks, we can still have one of the classic dishes from the iconic Carnation Café. Whether you’re a fan of dill pickles or bread and butter pickles, you can fry and serve up Disneyland’s Fried Pickle recipe along with a house-made zesty dipping sauce.

But, be warned that these Fried Pickles are so good that you might want to make an extra batch just for yourself! 😉

1 1/2 teaspoons favorite Sriracha sauce
1/2 cup favorite ranch dressing
1 1/2 teaspoons lime juice
