Recipe Ingredients
- Pickles: This recipe calls for your favorite whole dill pickles.
- Pickle Juice: You’ll need some of the pickle juice for this recipe.
- Garlic: This recipe calls for one large clove of minced garlic.
- Onion: You’ll need finely diced onion for this recipe. I used sweet onion but red onion or even shallots would work too.
- Red Bell Pepper: This recipe calls for finely diced red bell pepper.
- Cucumber: You’ll need English or seedless cucumbers for this recipe. If using English cucumber, make sure to core it first before dicing.
- Jalapeno: Adding some finely diced jalapeno gives this recipe a slight kick which tastes so good.
- Seasoning: You’ll need a pinch of kosher salt for this recipe. Don’t go overboard because the pickles are already salty.
- Herbs: Adding fresh dill is a great way to enhance the dill flavor in this recipe. It also adds a layer of freshness.
Variations
Swap the peppers. Instead of red bell pepper you can add diced tomatoes instead. Make sure you remove the seeds first.
Swap the herbs. Try adding cilantro or parsley instead of fresh dill. However, the dill tastes best in my opinion.
How to Make
Finely dice the whole pickles, onion, red bell pepper, cucumber, and jalapeno and add it to a bowl. Add the minced garlic, pickle juice, and pinch of kosher salt. Toss until well combined. Fold in the freshly chopped dill and enjoy.
