Seems like it would work particularly well with a sweet pickle, concentrating the vinegar and salt flavors is going to make them really strong, sweetness would help balance it out a bit.
I'd even consider making a custom batch with a lighter seasoning (like summer style fridge cucumbers), so it's more like cucumber chips with vinegar and salt.
Stop. Look at me.
Pickle it.
Dehydrate it.
Powder it.
Snort it.
I'm not sure what is really going on, but my regular grocery store has dill pickle salad and something is crunchy. It's really good!
I think we should start with why are pickles a thing. I mean come on.
I gotta preserve my cucumbers somehow!
Yknow it's weird. I love other pickled things. Hell, pickled onions are my favorite form of onions, and I love onion in general. But pickles? Disgusting. Can't stand them. The absolute worst.
what about sweet pickles?
I recently found pickled radishes at a farmer's market. So good!
pickled radishes with some red pepper flakes added in the juice are amazing
my guess is that drying something, much like pickling something, is used as a method of preserving the given food. as a pickle is already preserved, you wouldn’t need to dehydrate it.
I kinda want a dried pickle now wtf?
Because cucumbers (my spelling is horryble)
Are like 90 something % water, drying it would be very bad
I dried out a cucumber over time like a gourd once just to see what would happen, and at the end it was basically a loofah, super light and airy.
Apparently it is a thing:
edit: moar: https://www.thepurposefulpantry.com/dehydrate-pickles/
get a dehydrator & experiment, OP
Pickle chips are a thing though. https://www.buypicklechips.com/
It seems to be something others have tried, and at least one company is selling them. I bet they would be pretty good if you like pickles.

Maybe because they’re mostly water?
some one did it https://rockinwhomestead.com/dehydrated-pickles/
I imagine it isnt popular because it is overpowering.
