Ingredients
1 pound fresh tomatoes (any variety)
1½ cups whole dill pickles, cut into chunks
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
½ teaspoon garlic powder
1½ teaspoon dry oregano
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Rinse the tomatoes and cut them into bite-sized chunks. Place the tomato chunks in a colander set over a bowl and let them drain for 30 minutes to remove excess moisture and seeds. Discard the accumulated liquid from the bowl.
Transfer the drained tomatoes to a medium mixing bowl. Add the dill pickle chunks, extra virgin olive oil, garlic powder, dry oregano, salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
Gently toss all ingredients together until well combined. Serve immediately as a fresh condiment for sandwiches, or refrigerate until ready to use.
Comments
Every ingredient is a staple at any of the six major Charlotte chains, with no special stops required—tomatoes and dill pickles are year-round basics, and the dried seasonings are in every pantry aisle. Cost per serving runs well under a dollar, driven entirely by the tomatoes and pickles; extra virgin olive oil is the premium choice but a bottle lasts months. The stated 60 minutes is honest for proper dicing and marinating, and the dish is a refrigerator pickle that actually improves over a day or two. It's a condiment or side dish rather than a standalone meal, best suited to weeknight suppers where a bright, tangy element lifts grilled chicken or fish.
