Classic Pico de Gallo Recipe
Description
Classic Pico de Gallo combines diced small white onion and jalapeno peppers with salt and lets the mixture marinate briefly to mellow the sharpness. Then medium tomatoes and fresh cilantro are added and stirred to combine. Lime juice provides brightness and acidity essential to the salsa's flavor profile.
The resulting salsa has a chunky texture with the crispness of onion and jalapenos, softened slightly by marinating. The fresh tomatoes and cilantro contribute juiciness and earthiness, while the lime juice adds a cutting tang. This salsa is best served chilled and makes a fresh accompaniment to Mexican dishes or as a dip with chips.
Ingredients
- 1 onion small, white
- 2 jalapeno pepper small
- 1 lime juiced, small
- 6 tomato medium
- 1 bunch cilantro
- 1 tsp salt adjust to taste
Instructions
- Dice veggies into similar-sized pieces. Set aside. Juice lime and set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine onion, jalapenos, and salt. Allow the mixture to marinate for 5 minutes.
