Steps

  1. Combine all the ingredients for the ranch sauce together in a bowl until well combined.
  2. To make the pickle fries, make a hole in the each pickle by inserting a straw into the end of each pickle and pressing firmly to ‘core’ the pickle. Cut each Cheestring into 4 lengthways and feed the Cheestring quarters into the cored pickles. Wrap each pickle in a slice of the streaky bacon and place on a lined baking tray.
  3. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 C for 15 minutes then serve with the ranch dressing.
