# Helpful Hints:
01 -
- This dip turns three things you probably already have into something people will actually ask about.
- The pickle crunch against the creamy ranch base is the kind of contrast that keeps you going back for one more chip.
02 -
- If you skip the chilling step the dip tastes flat and separated so try to plan ahead even a little.
- Seeding the tomato is not optional unless you want a pool of liquid at the bottom of your bowl after an hour.
03 -
- Chop everything as uniformly as possible because nothing ruins a creamy dip faster than biting into a massive chunk of onion.
- Let the Pickle De Gallo sit on its own for five minutes before folding it in so the lime juice has time to soften the edges of the onion.
