Ingredients for Pickle de Gallo
- Pickles: Dill pickles are needed for the perfect flavor! For a little extra heat, try spicy dill pickles.
- Bell Pepper: Choose a red, yellow, or orange bell pepper for sweetness and crunch.
- Red Onion: Use red or white onion, or even green onion, if it’s what you have on hand.
- Jalapeño: Fresh jalapeños add a bit of heat—for a milder flavor, scrape out the seeds and membranes.
- Garlic: Garlic is added for flavor. You can use garlic powder in place, but fresh is always better.
- Pickle Juice: This brings it all together; pour it straight from the jar.
Quick Tips
- Use a Chopper: A chopper like this one helps make the prep quick and ensures perfect flavor in every bite.
- Adjust the Heat: To keep it mild, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeño. To make it spicy, leave the seeds when you chop it or add a second pepper.
- Chill Before Serving: Let the Pickle de Gallo rest in the fridge for at least 30 minutes so the flavors can blend.
