Cherry Tomato Pico de Gallo
Description
Cherry Tomato Pico de Gallo uses halved or chopped cherry tomatoes mixed with diced white onion and jalapeño peppers to create a fresh salsa base. Cilantro and lime juice add herbal and citrus notes, while garlic powder, salt, and black pepper season the mixture. This recipe allows adjusting the heat by including jalapeño seeds for extra spiciness. The salsa is uncooked, preserving the fresh, crisp texture and natural sweetness of the tomatoes.
The fresh and tangy flavors come through thanks to the lime juice and the combination of onion and jalapeños. This pico de gallo is well suited as a topping for grilled meats, tacos, or as a dip for chips, bringing a refreshing contrast to richer dishes.
The recipe offers flexibility with tomato varieties from cherry to Roma or heirloom, depending on availability and preference. Tasting and adjusting seasoning before serving helps balance acidity and spice according to taste.
