01 -

It comes together in under ten minutes with ingredients you probably already have in your fridge
The flavor actually gets better after a day in the fridge, so make a batch and keep it around all week

02 -

The texture changes overnight as the onions and pickles release moisture, so it might get slightly thinner but the flavor intensifies beautifully
If you make this ahead, give it a good stir before serving since the spices can settle at the bottom

03 -

Chop your pickles and onion as finely as you have patience for, it makes a huge difference in texture
Taste your pickle brine first, if it is super salty you might not need any additional salt at all
