Creamy Pico De Gallo
Description
This recipe takes classic pico de gallo ingredients—deseeded Roma tomatoes, finely diced white onion, chopped cilantro, fresh lime juice, salt, and Serrano or jalapeño pepper—and mixes them together fresh to retain bright, crisp flavors. The pico is then folded into Greek yogurt at a ratio around two parts pico to one part yogurt, preserving chunkiness while adding creaminess.
The result is a dip with fresh vegetable crunch, herbal notes, zesty lime brightness, and a controlled heat level from the Serrano pepper, mellowed by tangy but thick yogurt. This creamy pico de gallo offers a milder alternative to traditional chunky salsas and can be served with tortilla chips or raw vegetables as a snack or appetizer.
Adjustments in portion size can maintain the same flavor balance, and scooping the pico into the yogurt rather than pouring preserves thickness by minimizing excess liquid incorporation. This recipe yields roughly four cups, suitable for sharing.
Ingredients
Pico de Gallo
- 4 Roma tomato deseeded and diced
- 2/3 cup white onion finely diced
- 1 bunch cilantro finely chopped
- 1 lime juiced
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 Serrano pepper finely chopped, or jalapeño
Greek Yogurt
- 1 1/2 cups Greek yogurt
Instructions
- Place all the ingredients for the pico de gallo in a bowl and stir together.
- In separate bowl, add the Greek yogurt. Then add the pico de gallo, which should be approximately 3 cups. I recommend scooping the pico de gallo rather than pouring it into the yogurt, so you don't add the extra juices at the bottom of the bowl. This will keep your dip thicker and creamier.
- Serve with chips or veggies and enjoy.
Notes
- The recipe yields approximately 4 cups of creamy pico de gallo dip, suitable for a small gathering.
- Maintain a 2:1 ratio of pico de gallo to Greek yogurt when scaling the recipe to retain flavor and texture balance.
- Scoop the diced pico de gallo into the yogurt instead of pouring to avoid diluting the dip’s thickness with excess liquid.
