Ingredients
- 2 tomato
- 1/2 onion
- 1 jalapeño
- 15-20 cilantro sprigs
- juice of lime 1 lime
- 1/4 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
Instructions
- Give the tomatoes, jalapeno, and cilantro a good rinse. Peel the onion and de-stem the tomatoes and jalapeno. I usually twist off and discard the bottom, thicker portions of the cilantro stems, but keep the upper portion of the stems that hold the leaves together.
- Finely chop the 2 tomatoes, 1/2 onion, and jalapeno into 1/4" sized chunks. Finely dice the cilantro. For a milder version you can start by using only 1/2 of the jalapeno and adding more incrementally if you want more heat.
- Combine the tomato, onion, jalapeno and cilantro in a mixing bowl. Add a heaping 1/4 teaspoon of salt and the juice of a single lime. Mix together well and taste for seasoning. Add additional salt and lime if necessary (I added more salt to this batch).
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the fridge.
Notes
- If your first taste has a lot of tomato flavor, try adding more onion, jalapeno, or lime juice. Pico tastes best when the tomato is kept in check by the other ingredients.
