Ingredients
- 1 pound tomatoes cut into 1/4-inch pieces (see note 1)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion (from 1 small)
- 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro (from 1 bunch, see note 2)
- 3 Jalapeno peppers finely chopped (see note 3)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice (from 1 lemon)
- 1 tablespoon lime juice (from 1 lime)
- salt
- tortilla chips for serving
Instructions
- In a medium bowl, add tomatoes, red onion, cilantro, jalapeño, lemon juice, and lime juice, and salt to taste. Stir to combine.
Notes
- Tomatoes: This salsa tastes best when made with fresh, ripe tomatoes. In a pinch, substitute 1 (15 ounce) can diced tomatoes.
- Cilantro: If you hate cilantro, leave it out or substitute parsley.
- Jalapeños: For a spicier salsa, substitute serrano chiles. For the mildest salsa, substitute green bell peppers.
- Yield: This recipe makes about 2 cups of salsa.
- Storage: Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
- Make ahead: This salsa can be made a day ahead, and the flavors get better if it has a chance to sit that long.
- Per Mexico: In Aguascalientes, Mexico they add 1/8 teaspoon dried Mexican oregano to Pico de Gallo.
- Tuna on toast: I love to mix this tomato salsa with a batch of tuna salad and make a sandwich. So great!
- Omelet: Add leftover salsa and a dollop of sour cream to your next omelet.
- Beans and rice: Dress up a bowl of black beans and Mexican rice.
