Easy Pico de Gallo Recipe
Description
This pico de gallo recipe uses ripe tomatoes chopped finely, combined with diced green onions and diced jalapeño for a mild heat. An optional red chili can add extra spiciness, and sweet corn is included for a hint of sweetness and texture variation. Fresh lime zest and juice provide brightness while minced garlic adds depth when included.
Olive oil is folded in to unify the components and smooth the bite, and salt and pepper are adjusted for seasoning. The salsa is refrigerated for at least 30 minutes to let flavors meld and create a refreshing, chunky salsa that retains distinct textures.
Pico de gallo is best served chilled as a topping for tacos, grilled meats, or as a dip with tortilla chips. Its fresh, crisp texture and balanced heat make it a versatile accompaniment in Mexican and Tex-Mex cuisine.
