Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 24 ounces baby dill pickles, finely diced (about 10 baby dill pickles)
- ½ sweet yellow onion, finely diced
- 1 red bell pepper, seeded and finely diced
- 2 tablespoons pickle brine, from the jar
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 serrano pepper or jalapeno pepper, finely diced
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: To a mixing bowl, add the finely diced baby dill pickles, sweet yellow onion, red bell pepper, pickle brine, minced garlic clove, serrano or jalapeno pepper, and kosher salt. Stir everything together until well combined.
- Marinate: Cover the mixing bowl with a lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture. Allow it to marinate for at least 2 hours to blend the flavors deeply.
- Serve: Before serving, stir the Pickle de Gallo again to redistribute juices. Enjoy it as a fresh condiment with tortilla chips or as a flavorful topping for Mexican dishes such as carne asada, carnitas, or birria tacos.
Notes
- For a milder heat, substitute the serrano pepper with jalapeno or remove seeds before dicing.
- The longer you marinate Pickle de Gallo, the more pronounced the flavors become—overnight marinating is ideal.
- If you prefer less saltiness, reduce the kosher salt to ¼ teaspoon based on your pickles’ brine saltiness.
- This recipe pairs well with grilled meats and can add a tangy crunch to sandwiches and burgers.
- Use fresh, crisp baby dill pickles for the best texture and flavor.
