Expert Tips
- Make sure to strain the pickle de gallo with a strainer before adding it to the dip. Otherwise, the acid from the brine can make the dip runny.
- I like to make the pickle de gallo a day in advance. That way the flavors have time to marry in the brine. Strain it well before using. This step is optional.
- I used salted peanuts, but if you want to decrease sodium you can use lightly salted peanuts or unsalted instead.
