Notes
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days.
- Use white onion for milder flavor or red onion for bolder flavor.
- Substitute fresh parsley in place of the cilantro if you are not a fan of cilantro.
- Zest the limes by grating the peel before juicing them.
- Nutritional information does not include tortillas chips.
- Be sure to remove the seeds to keep the pico de gallo from getting too watery. Cut the tomatoes in half and scoop the entire center out with a spoon so that you are left with just basically a shell.
- For spicy pico, add 1 minced jalapeno pepper. Remove the seeds or leave them in depending on your heat preference.
- For a sweeter pico, add 1 cup of finely diced mango or pineapple.
