Easy Pico De Gallo
Description
Easy Pico De Gallo is made by mixing diced Roma tomatoes, finely chopped white onion, cilantro, and deseeded jalapeño peppers for controlled heat. Lime juice adds acidity and freshness, while a pinch of garlic salt enhances the overall flavor. After combining, refrigerating for about an hour helps the ingredients meld and intensify.
This salsa is characterized by its crisp textures from fresh vegetables and herbal brightness from cilantro. The jalapeño provides gentle heat balanced by lime's tartness. It complements grilled chicken, tacos, or chips, adding a fresh and lively topping or dip option without cooking.
Pico De Gallo is quick to assemble and can be made ahead, chilled, and served cold. Using a juicer for lime helps extract juice cleanly and efficiently.

Notes
