Our Pickle de Gallo recipe is sure to be a new favorite dip or topping! Ready in no time with freshly chopped pickles, peppers, onion, garlic, and dill all mixed up in pickle brine!
Here I am, back again with another dip recipe! Can’t help myself – dip is life and this one in particular always gets oohs and ahhs from friends and family!
Maybe you’ve seen Pickle de Gallo at the store before and wondered what the heck it was? Well, I’m here to say that it’s exactly what it sounds like! It’s a fun twist on pico de gallo – you swap the tomatoes for dill pickles!
I was super skeptical about this when I first saw the container at the store, but I gave it a try and was so surprised. It tastes exactly how you think it would – salty, sour, crisp – but everyone that tried it was surprised that they liked it so much.
Our Pickle Dip is another crowd favorite! Crunchy dill pickles mixed with cream cheese – perfect on Ruffles!

Dill Pickles – Use your favorite dill pickles here – ones that are nice and crunchy with a bold flavor. Our refrigerator dill pickles work well or try Claussen brand!
Onions – I’m using yellow onions but any variety should work.
Bell Pepper – I’m using sweeter red bell peppers for this but you could really use any color that you prefer!
Garlic – Mince some fresh garlic cloves for lots of flavor!
Jalapeno or Serrano – Use jalapeno for less heat and serrano for more heat. Remove the seeds and membranes to tone things down a bit or leave them in for extra spice.
Pickle Brine – Adding the pickle juice is a good way to add even more pickle flavor, plus the chopped veggies taste great when mixed up in it!
Dill – You’ll want some freshly chopped dill to add in for extra dill pickle flavor!

How to Make Pickle de Gallo:
Chop: First up you’ll need to prepare all the chopped veggies! Dice up the pickle, onion, bell pepper, and jalapeno. Mince the garlic and add all of that to a mixing bowl.
Mix: With all the chopped veggies added you can now pour in the pickle juice and add in the chopped dill. Stir all that up until it is well combined. You’ll need to let it chill for an hour so cover the bowl and put it in the fridge.
Serve: After chilling in the fridge for an hour you can serve this Pickle de Gallo with some tortilla chips, or maybe use it top a hot dog or even hamburgers!

We love to serve this with tortilla chips and it’s usually gone pretty quick at parties! If you do have leftovers, use them like you would relish and top your hot dogs or burgers. You could even swap the pickles for pickle de gallo in our Instant Pot potato salad!
