Copycat Pickle De Gallo

At Delish, we’ve got a real obsession with pickles, and this copycat pickle de gallo recipe is our newest crush. This Internet darling is a fresh, crunchy, flavor-packed mix of chopped pickles, bell pepper, jalapeño, garlic, and pickle brine—a fun twist on pico de gallo salsa, but with pickles as the star ingredient. If you’re a pickle lover (who isn’t??), then this is a must-try.

How do I make pickle de gallo?
It’s so easy! Just take care to finely chop the ingredients and give everything a stir. I like the flavor and heat of using a small jalapeño with some of the seeds, but you can remove the seeds for a mild flavor, or keep all the seeds in for an extra kick. You can even experiment with different pickles, though I recommend dill or sour (not bread and butter). Pro tip: Always buy your pickles in the refrigerated section for the freshest, crispest, and tastiest pickles.

What do I serve with pickle de gallo?
You can use pickle de gallo as a fun party snack with chips, but one of my favorite ways to serve it is as a topping on pulled pork or fried chicken sliders. It’s also great on hot dogs and brats straight from the grill or even tossed into a fresh, bean salad; however, no judgment if you want to straight up eat it with a spoon!

Storage:
Pickle de gallo can be made up to 5 days ahead. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate.
