Pico de Gallo Recipe

🧂 Ingredients

1 ½ pounds ripe red tomatoes

about 8 small or 4 large, chopped
1 medium jalapeño or serrano pepper

seeds and ribs removed, finely chopped (adjust to taste—omit for mild, or add another for extra heat)
1 cup finely chopped white onion

about 1 small onion
½ cup finely chopped fresh cilantro

about 1 bunch
¼ cup lime juice
¾ teaspoon fine sea salt

or more to taste

Instructions

1 In a medium serving bowl, mix together the finely chopped onion, jalapeño, lime
juice, and salt. Let this mixture rest for around 5 minutes, allowing the
flavors to meld while you prepare the tomatoes and cilantro.
2 Add the chopped tomatoes and fresh cilantro to the bowl. Stir everything
together until the ingredients are well combined. Taste the mixture and adjust
the salt as needed to enhance the flavor.
3 For optimal taste, allow the pico de gallo to marinate for at least 15 minutes,
or refrigerate it for several hours to deepen the flavors. When serving, use a
slotted spoon or a large fork to avoid transferring excess tomato juice.
4 Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4
days, keeping the vibrant freshness intact. Enjoy as a dip or as a zesty
accompaniment to your favorite dishes.
