Pickle De Gallo Recipe

• Pickles. We use Kosher dill pickles for this recipe.
• Fresh Tomatoes.  I’m not terribly picky about the type of tomato I use for this recipe, as long as it’s red, ripe and flavorful.  Roma or plum tomatoes have less juice and fewer seeds than other tomatoes so they’re a good choice,  but any big ripe juicy red tomatoes will work…just omit some of the seeds. For this recipe sometimes I use one Roma tomato and one small vine-ripe tomato.
• Onion.  We use a mix of chopped red and green onion for this recipe.  
• Garlic.  We add a clove of garlic to this recipe, but if you like garlic, add another clove or two.  
• Jalapeno.  A little jalapeno gives this pickle de gallo a nice little pop of flavor and heat to the mix. We only add in about 1/2 jalapeno, but if you want things a little spicier, then add more to your liking. We’ve also made this recipe using pickled jalapenos when we didn’t have fresh on hand. 
• Pepperoncini. The pepperoncini adds a lot of flavor to this Pickle de Gallo.
• Black Olives. This Pickle de Gallo wouldn’t be complete without black olives.
• Seasoning:  Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

Variations

• Use pickled jalapenos instead of fresh
• Add green olives or kalamata olives instead of black olives
• Toss in a spoonful or two of sweet pickle relish 
• Add 1-2 tablespoons finely chopped celery leaves

How To Make Pickle Salsa

This Dill Pickle Salsa comes together in about 10 minutes start-to-finish, but it’s tastes best if you refrigerate it for at least 30 minutes before serving.

1. Tomatoes and Onion.  Chop tomatoes and onion (should be a close 50/50 ratio).
2. Garlic. Smash, peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
3. Jalapenos.  Slice jalapenos in half and scrape out the seeds and membrane using a spoon.
4. Mix.  Toss the ingredients in a large bowl and season with a little freshly cracked black pepper.

Serving Suggestions

• Tortilla Chips. Serve with potato chips and Homemade Tortilla Chips
• Sandwiches.  Great added to submarine sandwiches and grilled chicken sandwiches.  Serve as a side with grilled cheese sandwiches.
• Wraps. Add them to your favorite turkey and chicken wraps.
• Hot Dogs.  Add it to your hot dogs instead of plain ol onion and relish.
• Salads. Stir into tuna and chicken salads.
• Burgers.  Add to burgers and burger bowls.
• Baked Beans. Serve with homemade baked beans. 
• Nachos. Sprinkle over the top of nachos.
