Ingredients

  • 4 Roma tomato diced
  • 1 red onion finely diced, small
  • 1 jalapeño ribs and seeds removed, finely chopped
  • ½ cup cilantro finely chopped, fresh, about 1 bunch
  • ¼ cup lime juice
  • ½ teaspoon salt to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. In a medium serving bowl, combine the tomatoes, red onion, jalapeno and cilantro.
  2. Add lime juice and salt, and stir everything together. Taste, and add more salt if necessary.
  3. For the best flavor, let the mixture marinate for 15 minutes or several hours in the refrigerator. Serve as a dip, or with a slotted spoon or large serving fork to avoid transferring too much watery tomato juice with your pico. Pico de gallo keeps well in the refrigerator, covered, for up to 4 days.
  4. Wait for 15 minutes to let all the flavors meld. But if you can't wait to dig in, serve it with tortilla chips and enjoy!

Notes

  • Fresh Ingredients: Always use the freshest ingredients possible. This makes a world of difference in flavor.
  • Uniform Chopping: Try to keep your chopping uniform. This ensures a consistent texture and flavor in each bite.
  • Season Gradually: Add salt and lime juice gradually, tasting as you go. This helps you find the perfect balance.
  • Resting Time: Don’t skip the resting time. It’s crucial for allowing the flavors to develop fully.
