Pico de Gallo Recipe
Description
This Pico de Gallo Recipe combines medium ripe tomatoes chopped into chunks with finely chopped white onions, seeded and minced jalapeño or serrano peppers, and fresh cilantro leaves chopped without stems. Fresh lime juice adds acidity and brightness, while kosher salt and black pepper season the mixture.
Optional ingredients include chopped red bell pepper, which contributes sweet crunch, and minced garlic for an extra layer of flavor. The mixture is stirred thoroughly and allowed to marinate in the refrigerator for at least an hour. This resting period lets the flavors mingle and the salsa develop a balanced taste.
Pico de Gallo is commonly used as a fresh topping or side for Mexican dishes, offering a tangy, mildly spicy contrast. It’s a versatile condiment that complements tacos, grilled meats, and chips.
