Ingredients

  • 6 roma tomatoes seeded and chopped
  • 1 Jalapeño deseeded and deveined
  • 1/3 c. cilantro chopped
  • 1/2 red onion finely diced
  • 1 lime juiced
  • 1 tsp salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Mix all ingredients in mixing bowl until combined. Add all ingredients to a medium bowl and stir together until well-combined. Pour into serving bowl to serve with chips as an appetizer or to add as a topping to other ingredients.
  2. You can enjoy this right away but it is best if you let it marinate for at least a hour in the refrigerator. 
  3. Serve with tortilla chips, on tacos, burritos, or anything else you can think of!

Notes

  • Make this recipe even easier by using a chopper to dice everything up except the cilantro. It save so much time.
  • Make sure your tomatoes are very ripe. A great option in the winter when fresh, ripe tomatoes are hard to find is using cherry tomatoes.
  • Chop all of your ingredients very finely so you can get a little of every ingredient in each bite.
  • Let your pico rest for at least 15 minutes before serving, but we prefer about a hour of rest time to really let the flavors meld.
  • The tomatoes will release moisture as they sit so serve this with a slotted spoon.
  • Did you know it’s also called salsa fresca or salsa cruda?
