Pico de Gallo
A simple and healthy side and topping that can bring a pop of color and fresh flavor to many dishes.
Ingredients
- 2 roma tomatoes This is the staple of the recipe, make sure your tomatoes are ripe and flavorful
- 5 tbsp red or white onion about 1/4 of a small onion
- 1/2 jalapeño you may use serano peppers as well
- 1-2 limes
- dash salt and pepper
Instructions
- Dice the tomato, onion and jalapeño. I prefer a small and consistent dice, but if you like a chunkier pico, cut them larger. Add them to a small bowl.
- Chop the cilantro, and add to the bowl.
- Juice the lime and add the juice to the other ingredients. Add a small dash of salt and pepper and mix together.
- Taste and add more salt, pepper or lime juice based upon your liking.
- Allow to sit for at least an hour. Taste again and adjust anything. Can hold for several days
- NOTE: You can change the amount of anything in this recipe and it will still be pico. If you want it less oniony or more cilantro, just add more or less based on your preferences.
