Let’s Prep:

What makes this pickle de gallo so great is how simple it is to throw together. You’ll need dill pickles, of course,  plus some cucumbers, tomatoes, red onion, and jalapeno peppers (optional) for that perfect crunch and kick. Chop everything up nice and fine; you want all those flavors in every bite. Dice some fresh dill and throw in a couple of minced garlic cloves if you like that added punch.  

If you wanted some acid in the recipe, you could add in some lime juice or white vinegar.  My advice is to add ingredients slowly, meaning in small quantities, but test as you go.  Taste and adjust.  This is a great way to make sure you’re dialing in the flavor exactly how you want it.

This is a close copycat recipe to Grillo’s Pickle de Gallo, and it’s a perfect alternative to a traditional fresh salsa.  This is an absolute classic dill recipe, that everyone will love!

Now here’s the secret sauce (literally): a splash of pickle juice goes into the mix. It brings that unmistakable pickle tang and gives this dip its edge. Toss everything together in a large bowl with a bit of salt and pepper, and you’re good to go.

Let’s Cook:

Homemade Dill Pickles, or from the store? Your call.

Sure, you could grab a bag of your favorite chips from one of your favorite grocery stores, but making your own takes this snack up a notch. Cut flour tortillas into quarters, heat some oil to about 350°F, and drop those tortilla triangles in for a couple of minutes.

Give them a stir, let them get golden, and then drain them on a paper towel. While they’re still warm, sprinkle with a bit of salt. Homemade chips bring out the crunch in this pickle de gallo like nothing else.

There are a number of ways that you can vary this recipe.  It’s flexible and versatile in that you can add other flavors that you might like.  For example-  you could add in some red bell pepper, or green fresh bell peppers or white onion or yellow onion.  While this is a dill pickle-forward recipe, if you wanted to try it with sweet pickles, I wouldn’t blame you at all!  

All of these options will add a crunchy twist to the recipe.  If you wanted a spicy version you could add in jalapeno peppers.  If you wanted a SUPER spicy recipe, add habanero peppers.   Anyway you make it, this is a pickle dip that you don’t want to miss.  Use crunch dill pickles and you can’t go wrong!
