Instructions

  1. Chop the ingredients: Dice the tomatoes and onion into small 1/4" cubes. Dice the jalapeno as fine as you can get it, and chop the cilantro well.
  2. Mix the ingredients: Add the chopped ingredients to a bowl and pour in the lime juice, then season with salt and pepper. Toss everything until well combined and let the ingredients sit together for at least 10 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Tomato Type: Roma tomatoes are recommended due to their lower water content. However, you can use other tomato varieties, just ensure to scoop out the seeds to avoid a watery salsa.
  • Adjust the Heat: Remember, the heat lies in the seeds and membrane of the jalapeño. Remove these parts for a milder salsa or leave them in for a spicier kick.
  • Fresh Lime Juice: Using fresh lime juice is advised for its bright, fresh flavor. If needed, bottled lime juice can be used, but the flavor may differ slightly.
  • Resting Time: Let the Pico de Gallo rest for at least 10 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld together, making for a tastier salsa.
  • Storage: Pico de Gallo can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 4-5 days. Freezing is not recommended as it can alter the texture of the fresh ingredients.
