# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The crunchy salty bite of Grillos pickles paired with fresh pico de gallo creates a flavor combination that disappears from the bowl every single time you serve it
  • Zero cooking required means you can throw this together while your guests are literally walking through the door
02 -
  • Seeding the tomato is not optional here if you skip it your dip will weep liquid all over the serving plate
  • Chilling transforms this dip from good to irresistible so resist the urge to dig in right away
03 -
  • Chop everything as uniformly as possible because uneven pieces mean some bites are all pickle and others are all cream
  • Letting the Pickle De Gallo sit for five minutes before folding it in gives the lime juice time to pull flavor out of the onion and cilantro
