If you’re a pickle lover and Aldi fan, you already know about their cult-favorite Pickle de Gallo. It’s like the cool cousin of pico de gallo — but instead of tomatoes, it’s loaded with diced dill pickles, red bell pepper, onions, and a briny punch of pickle juice. Perfect for scooping with chips or topping anything that needs a little zing.
This is a copy cat recipe for the Grillo's Pickle De Gallo that's available right now. Can’t find it in stock? No worries — this homemade version tastes just like it and takes just 10 minutes to throw together.
