 “Pickled Day Guy O”

Ingredients:

Claussen Pickles

Fresh Tomatoes

Purple Onion

Jarred Jalapenos

Garlic Powder

Salt

Pepper

Lime

 

Begin by cutting up your tomatoes in half and cutting all the insides including seeds away from the fleshy part of the tomato. Then, cut your tomatoes into small pieces. How small? Completely your preference. But think of the tomatoes as the main ingredient. I usually cut up 2 big tomatoes, discarding the seeds and the inside parts of the tomato. After the tomato is cut into small pieces, salt and pepper the tomato and place in a bowl. Also add any tomato liquid to the tomatoes in the bowl.

Next cut up your pickles into small pieces. Use about half as many pickles as tomatoes. A 2 to 1 ratio is accurate, but you certainly can go half and half on the dish.

Add the cut-up pickles to your tomatoes and then add some of the pickle juice from the jar into the bowl, not too much. A couple of teaspoons works just fine.

Next cut up a little purple onion into very small pieces and add to the mixture, About a 4 to 1 ratio: 4 tomatoes and 1 being the purple onion.

Then take some jarred jalapenos and cut them up into slices. How much depends on how hot you want to make this dish. I usually use a 4 to 1 ration here as well.

Next, add some garlic powder, be careful to add just a little, you don’t want the garlic to overpower the recipe.

Next squeeze just a little fresh lime on everything. Again, don’t let the lime take over the dish.

From there, you can season to taste.

Then put the mixture in the fridge for at least 30 minutes or overnight.

You can eat this dish with a spoon or add it to egg whites or use tortilla chips to eat. Or you can use celery sticks to eat this dish. Really healthy and good.
