Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup diced dill pickles
- 1 cup diced cucumber
- 3/4 cup diced Roma tomato (about 1 medium tomato)
- 1/2 cup diced red onion
- 1/4 cup diced jalapeno pepper
Seasonings
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons dried dill
- 1/4 cup pickle juice
Instructions
- Combine vegetables: Add the diced dill pickles, cucumber, Roma tomato, red onion, and jalapeno pepper to a large mixing bowl to create the fresh base of the salsa.
- Add seasonings: Sprinkle the garlic powder and dried dill evenly over the vegetable mixture to enhance the flavor profile with savory and herbal notes.
- Pour pickle juice: Measure and pour 1/4 cup of pickle juice into the bowl, adding a tangy and briny element that distinguishes this salsa from traditional versions.
- Mix thoroughly: Stir all the ingredients together until well combined and evenly coated with the seasonings and pickle juice, ensuring balanced flavor in every bite.
- Serve and store: Serve immediately with tortilla chips or as a topping in fajitas. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 3-4 days to maintain freshness.
Notes
- Use medium-sized Roma tomatoes for the best dicing and texture.
- If you prefer less heat, reduce the amount of jalapeno pepper or remove the seeds before dicing.
- For a fresher herb flavor, substitute dried dill with fresh dill, using about 1 tablespoon finely chopped.
- Ensure the pickle juice is fresh and not overly salty to maintain a balanced taste.
- This salsa is best eaten within 3-4 days for optimal freshness and flavor.
