Ingredients
- 1 lb. cored, chopped tomatoes (about 2 large or 3 medium tomatoes)
- ½ small red onion, diced
- 1 avocado, diced
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro (or sub with fresh parsley)
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons lime juice
- Kosher salt and ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl.
- Cover and let the pico de gallo sit and “marinate” for at least 15 minutes.
Notes
- Add corn to the pico de gallo in lieu of the avocado.
- Make it spicy with chopped jalapeño peppers. Remove the seeds from the jalapeno for a slightly more mild taste. Serrano peppers also work well.
- Swap out the red onion for white onion or sweet onion if you prefer. You can also throw some garlic or garlic powder into the sauce.
- For even more flavor, try adding diced red bell pepper, cucumber, or chopped pineapple or mango. The fresh fruit adds a nice, sweet, refreshing contrast to the savory vegetables.
- Prepare the pico de gallo without cilantro. You can omit the herb entirely, or substitute with chopped fresh parsley.
- Let everything marinate for at least 15 minutes before serving so that the flavors can come together.
- This salsa is best enjoyed on the same day that it's prepared.
- Use ripe, in-season tomatoes for the best flavor and texture. It's ideal for the summer and early fall months when the local tomatoes are growing on the vine!
- Chop everything evenly so that you get a little bit of each ingredient in every bite.
