Follow The Directions

01

Step

15 mins

Prepare the ingredients: Chop the pickles, bell peppers, jalapeno, and red onion into small, uniform pieces. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

02

Step

5 mins

Combine: In a medium-sized bowl, gently combine the chopped pickles, bell peppers, jalapeno, and red onion. (5 minutes)

03

Step

1 hrs

Season: Add the lemon juice, dill, and salt to the mixture. Stir well to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated. (2 minutes)

04

Step

2 mins

Chill: Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld. For best results, chill for 2-3 hours. (Chill time: 60-180 minutes)

05

Step

Serve: Before serving, give the pickle de gallo a final stir. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve chilled.

For a milder flavor, remove the seeds and membranes from the jalapeno pepper. For extra heat, leave some seeds in.
If you don't have freeze-dried dill, you can use 1 tablespoon of fresh dill, finely chopped.
This pickle de gallo is best served fresh. It can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, but the pickles may soften over time.
Experiment with different types of pickles! Bread and butter pickles or spicy pickles can add a unique twist to the recipe.
