# Method Steps:
01 - Pour buttermilk into a shallow bowl. In a separate bowl, mix flour, cornmeal, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, cayenne, salt, and black pepper. Dip each pickle chip or spear in buttermilk, then dredge in the flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
02 - Heat 2 inches of vegetable oil in a deep skillet to 350°F. Fry pickles in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Remove pickles using a slotted spoon and transfer to paper towels to drain.
03 - Lay each cheese slice on a flat surface and top with a slice of turkey or ham if using. Place a pickle spear at one end and roll up tightly. Secure rolls with toothpicks if needed. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
04 - Present fried pickles, pickled-wrapped bites, and assorted pickled vegetables attractively on a serving platter.
05 - Combine ranch dressing, pickle brine, and fresh dill in a small bowl. Mix thoroughly and serve alongside the platter for dipping.
