Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 medium Roma or plum tomatoes, finely diced
  • 3/4 cup dill pickles, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup red onion, finely diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 jalapeño, finely diced (seeds removed for less heat, optional)
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the ingredients: Finely dice the fresh tomatoes, dill pickles, red onion, and jalapeño. Chop the cilantro and squeeze fresh lime juice to have all components ready for mixing.
  2. Combine in a bowl: Gently toss the tomatoes, pickles, onion, jalapeño, and cilantro together in a medium-sized bowl, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
  3. Season well: Add lime juice, salt, and pepper to taste. Mix thoroughly but carefully so the ingredients maintain their texture without becoming mushy.
  4. Chill before serving: Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to blend beautifully for a more harmonious taste.

Notes

  • Use firm Roma or plum tomatoes for a less watery dip and denser texture.
  • Prefer dill pickles for their tang, but bread-and-butter pickles add a sweeter twist.
  • Remove jalapeño seeds to reduce heat or keep them for full spice.
  • Refrigerate after mixing to let the flavors marry and intensify.
  • Serve the dip cold for optimal freshness and taste.
