Ingredients
- 570 grams tomatoes (~5 small tomatoes)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 50 grams sweet onions (~¼ onion, minced)
- 30 grams Jalapeno peppers (~1 pepper, seeded and minced)
- 15 grams cilantro (~2 tablespoons, minced)
- ⅛ teaspoon xanthan gum (optional)
Instructions
- Remove the stems of the tomatoes and then slice them into ⅓-inch thick slices and then cut the slices into ⅓-inch thick stick, and then slice the sticks into ⅓-inch thick cubes.
- Transfer the chopped tomatoes to a colander over a bowl and then toss with the salt. Let this rest for 15 minutes to drain the excess liquid from the tomatoes.
- Add to the drained tomatoes to a bowl, along with the onions, jalapeño, and cilantro and stir to combine.
- (optional) add the xanthan gum to the drained tomato juice and use an immersion blender to incorporate. Add some of this back to the pico de Gallo and stir to combine.
