Easily transform plain cashews into Dill Pickle Cashews with herbs, buttermilk powder, and tangy citric acid. Makes a healthy, delicious, and awesome portable snack!
I thought once school was back in session, we would do away with second dinner and snacking every other hour.
But nope. My kids are just always moving, always hungry. Growing, obviously. I fear the pants I just bought my son won’t even get me through November.
Ok. Fine. Snacks. I love snacks! But after they grab a fourth bag of chips from the pantry, I’m like EEP. Gotta get creative.
So, I experimented.
And spent like $70 on raw cashews. *cries*
First time, the seasonings needed to be tweaked. The second time, the seasonings just wouldn’t stick. Then I remembered how my favorite candied pecans are coated in egg whites! Voilà….but then I cooked them too long and they burned. Omg.
I made five separate batches before they came out how I wanted them! Don’t say I never did anything for you.
Dill Pickle Cashew Recipe Notes
- Citric Acid can usually be found at your local grocery store near the pectin and other canning ingredients and materials. Or you can purchase it online here (affiliate link)
- To blend the herbs thoroughly, I even recommend putting everything into a small coffee or spice grinder.
- Cashews are a soft nut and can burn very quickly, so watch them closely and don’t skip the stirring!
How To Store Dill Pickle Cashews
Cooled nuts can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
I swear once upon a time, dill pickle cashews existed at the market. Or did I dream it?
Well, it doesn’t matter anymore. Now I can make them at home, and you can too!

Ingredients
- 3 teaspoons dried dill weed , crushed into a powder
- 1 tablespoon buttermilk powder
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
