zesty pickle salsa recipe

Pickle de Gallo is a zesty and invigorating twist on traditional salsa, combining the tangy crunch of pickles with the fresh flavors of tomatoes, onions, and cilantro. This versatile condiment is perfect for topping tacos, grilled meats, or simply enjoying with tortilla chips.

Ingredients:

2 cups diced dill pickles

1 cup diced tomatoes

1/2 cup finely chopped red onion

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

1 jalapeño, seeded and minced

2 tablespoons pickle juice

1 tablespoon lime juice

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

In a medium bowl, combine the pickles, tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño. In a small bowl, whisk together the pickle juice, lime juice, salt, and pepper. Pour the dressing over the vegetable mixture and toss until well combined. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.

What To Serve With It

I love pairing Pickle De Gallo with crispy tortilla chips for a tangy, revitalizing snack that’s perfect for sharing. It’s also amazing spooned over tacos or stuffed into quesadillas, adding a zesty kick to every bite. Trust me, it’s a game-changer for your next meal or gathering!

Chips and Dips

There’s something about a good dip that makes any snack feel like a party. When I serve Pickle de Gallo, I love pairing it with chips that bring out the best in its tangy, crunchy goodness. The right flavor combinations can turn a simple snack into something special—think spicy jalapeño chips with the cool zing of the dip or salty tortilla chips that balance the pickle’s bite. Chip textures matter, too. I go for sturdy ones that won’t snap under a hearty scoop. It’s all about finding that perfect match to make every bite a mini celebration.

Tacos and Quesadillas

Ever wondered how to take your tacos and quesadillas to the next level? I’ve experimented with taco toppings like pickled onions, tangy cilantro-lime slaw, and even a spoonful of Pickle De Gallo for a zesty kick. It’s all about balancing flavors! For quesadilla variations, I mix things up by adding roasted peppers, spinach, or caramelized onions alongside the classic melted cheese. Sometimes, I swap flour tortillas for corn or whole wheat for extra texture. Pair them with a side of guac or salsa, and you’ve got a meal that’s anything but boring. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!
