The definition is at the beginning of the clue.
How the clue works
So, Select is the definition here, and it's just another way of saying choose. For the wordplay, start with PICKLE, your condiment, then drop LE (that's "the French", as in the French word for "the") because the clue says it's "left out", and what remains is the answer.
