What is in Dill Pickle Salsa?
Tomatoes
Tomatoes are the base of this salsa, adding juiciness and a fresh, slightly sweet flavor. Go for ripe, firm tomatoes that are packed with flavor—Roma or vine-ripened are great options for their balance of sweetness and acidity.
Sweet Onion
Sweet onion adds a mild, slightly sweet crunch that balances out the tanginess of the pickles. Choose a fresh, medium-sized sweet onion for a subtler onion flavor that won’t overpower the salsa.
Garlic Dill Pickle Spears
Our Berry & Brine Garlic Dill Pickle Spears are the star of this salsa, adding a tangy, garlicky crunch that elevates the flavor. Use spears for easy chopping, and make sure they’re chilled for that perfect, crisp bite.
Garlic
Garlic adds a bold, aromatic depth to the salsa. Fresh cloves are best here—finely chop them to evenly distribute that garlicky goodness throughout the salsa without overpowering it.
Fresh Dill
Fresh dill brings a bright, herbaceous note that complements the pickles perfectly. Roughly chop it for bursts of fresh, green flavor throughout the salsa. Opt for fresh dill over dried to keep the flavors vibrant and lively.
Dill Pickle Brine
Dill pickle brine ties everything together, adding a tangy, salty flavor that enhances the pickles and fresh ingredients. Use the brine from our Garlic Dill Pickle Spears for the best, most consistent flavor.
Salt and Pepper
A generous pinch of salt brings out all the flavors, while pepper adds a subtle kick. Use kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper for the best taste and control over seasoning.
Corn Chips
High-quality restaurant-style corn chips are the perfect vehicle for this salsa. Look for chips that are thick and crunchy, able to hold up to the chunky texture of the salsa without breaking.
